I'm thinking the same thing but really not sure which Linux OS is going to be best in terms of day to day use.

I'm thinking it will probably be between Postmarket and Lineage but do you have any opinions / insight on the subject?

I'm tempted to try Ubuntu Touch. But I want to buy a second-hand Fairphone 4 to try it on, and other OSes possibly - because I don't want to waste the CalyxOS install that's running fine on mine right now - and I haven't found a good second-hand one yet.

Yeh fair enough, I was thinking of doing exactly the same thing and trying using each one out for a couple of weeks at a time to see which one works best / has the least amount of problems for me to then use going forward.
