I wouldnt recommend Fairphone if you want to do Linux stuff with it, it’s a perfect AOSP or LineageOS device though.

Why not? Ubuntu Touch lists Fairphone 4 and 5 as 100% fully optimized and even writes "The Fairphone 5 is currently the best supported device with Ubuntu Touch." I am curious to try this out.

I know there are postmarketOS build for Fairphone as well (but more limited in functionality, so I am not considering this yet).
