It has better ecosystem, but still not compareable with Android/iOS, so I bought the license to be able to use Android emulator and it works quite well, but still too much effort, bugs and problems. All other exotic phones are too expensive, have limitted ecosystem, small community, bugs etc. Of course it depends on the usecases, but for the price and capability of the hardware it is expected to be more than a phone. Anyway it depends on the use cases, but I think it should be mentioned what are the limitations and first hand experiences.

On the other hand, you can install a Debian system in your existing Android device as an application or chroot environment, which gets you both the phone functionality of continuing to run Android and much of the Debian functionality via a terminal or even X11 applications. https://wiki.debian.org/ChrootOnAndroid -dsr-
