I like the idea of a Linux Phone. I don't know much about it. My bank's 2FA probably wouldn't be supported on that and i do need to have WhatsApp because it's the default mode of communication for everybody that's not deeply into privacy, right? What DE would you recommend?
Linux doesn't have good user experience yet(for mobile) like battery management and calls and text so I would advise against it
try lineageos, it is privacy friendly and gets updates, use opengapps/nik'sgapps if you wanna use bank applications(some won't run without play services)
if you like a complete experience with all the pixel features you have now, then user pixel experience rom
also, don't use twrp if you don't intend to change from one rom to another frequently
meanwhile, you can check out this showcase of a beta build of gnome mobile https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJq8Cq9LixE
Here are the ones I am looking at;
I think Lineage and e.foundation might be your solution because they use a degoogled verson of android replacing google services with microg. This allows the os to be fully compatible with all the apps.
