Exactly, I've used unlocked phones for years and treat my smartphone as a pocket computer. I'm fed up with all that security nonsense as it's a fucking hindrance to how I want to configure my devices.

In fact, my actual phone is now just a feature phone and the smartphone my portable computer with internet access via WiFi and a pocket router with SIM card.

Same here, was hoping the Pinephone to be that, and while it's cool and overall neat, the software wasn't there the last time I tried (year ago or so). Hopefully one day :)

with linux ofc
