If you mean GNU/Linux phones, they already exist and can be used as daily drivers by technical people. Sent from my Librem 5.

Yes, but a popular one that's usable by regular people and with a very wealthy organization behind it.

Why GNU? I get the appeal of Linux, but Android has that angle covered. What makes GNU a better userspace than Android for phone use? I actually think the Andoid userspace is very good for what it is. If Google's influence were magically removed, Android would be more or less the ideal OS, at least for me.

This can be achieved if more people support the effort. If you expect megacorps to offer you a device respecting your freedom, think again.

They exist but they need more polish and support from device vendors to be a viable alternative to the duopoly. It should be just as easy for the average phone buyer to get and use a 'Linux phone' as it is to get an Android or fruit phone. This is more or less true now for Linux distributions no matter what the naysayers keep on repeating, the next step is to make it true for mobile devices. There will still be naysayers but... who cares? Let them listen to themselves in their echo chambers like they've been doing w.r.t. 'Linux on the desktop'.
