I could be wrong, but I think Linux would be horrible for the kind of security you'd want in a smartphone. At least that's what I read from the GrapheneOS folks...
Depends on what your threat model is. Sure a fully locked down mobile OS is more secure, but I also care about freedom and privacy. It's not all black and white.
As far as I'm aware this is true (same with a lot of desktop linux distros), but I'm more interested in freeing myself from Android at the moment. I'm sure we can get there eventually w/r/t security, but it takes time, and we'll never get there if we don't start moving.
