Just got a fairphone 4. It feels so much more solid than my old pixel 6a. Its battery lasts for almost 2 days. Same performance that I can see. Spare parts for cheapish on the site.
Anyways just wanted to share.

How is the situation with the boot loader? And when will it be real Linux compatible?
If answers are “can be unlocked” and “Soon™️”, I gotta get one
Uh… yeah, kinda the point.
Bootloader is easily unlocked, and it runs ubuntu touch at least… Although I run with /e/os for practical reasons.
No idea. Although I would probably just get a USB mobile connection with a pi or something if I wanted gnu/Linux running. Just my opinion.
Postmarket is available for the FP4 but seems to be not really usable judging from the table:

I’m running Calyx (😭) on the FP5 atm, unlocking the bootloader seems to work for FP4 - 6:

Looks like Ubuntu Touch is also working on the FP4:
