I totally wish I could install an actual Linux based (I don't consider android Linux) distro on my current phone and also be able to install something like Waydroid with some sort of sandbox for it. Though I'm pretty sure my budget Samsung would fry itself if I tried doing that considering I can't even unlock the bootloader without it freezing up indefinitely.
There's not really a whole lot of options unless you like Manjaro mobile, Fedora mobile, Arch mobile, or Ubuntu Touch that I'm aware of.
Would love to try them if my phone, which was bought outright from Samsung themselves, allowed me to unlock the bootloader to allow me to try it. Might, if possible, try at least one of them on an old S10, if I can get the bootloader unlocked.
