From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I own a Pinephone and it wasn't ready for daily driving. Even the battery issues meant that when sleeping, phones wouldn't always wake to receive a call which can be critical. Software is still quite immature, but I would consider buying a Pinephone Pro from them in future as happy with hardware side of things. It will get there, and it's cool to see the progress, in the end, I went with a Pixel with GrapheneOS (degoogled android) which is pretty reliable for the essentials and having access the android apps in a sandbox.
If you're looking for a daily driver, it's probably the best bet right now.
