From what I can tell most of the roadblock is drivers for hardware support. Basically every price of hardware has to have a reverse engineered driver to work. We need hardware mfrs on board to really gain traction in this arena.
Still, I’m pretty sure my next phone is going to be a Linux phone. I know I’ll lose functionality but if I can make calls, send texts, and browse the web I’ll get by. Hopefully that space keeps gaining traction and it won’t be long until it is a truly viable option to replace google/apple products.
They did, it’s not great and device support is very limited.

imho the biggest roadblock is more general applications. Most desktop apps don’t scale well or at all to mobile screens, but it’s better than nothing.
At this point I’m thinking of just carrying around a small touchscreen laptop
