As a fellow postmarketOS user, it’s not fully ready for prime time, though it surely works.
If you need banking apps (not just bank in your browser), native popular messenger apps (Waydroid is there, but it’s way from perfect) and stuff like such, postmarketOS and mobile Linux in general are still not ready for you.
If you want to explore the alternative and ready to make some sacrifices in a quest for independence, you should absolutely give it a spin. Many well-supported devices (Pixel 3a, Pocophone F1 etc. etc.) are old and extremely cheap to buy on the secondhand market, and will offer you a decent experience.
Reporting from Pixel 3a: calls work flawlessly, had a little tinkering to make cellular Internet connection work with my provider. Looking at PostmarketOS Wiki, plenty of phones now work perfectly well as, well, phones.
How about we forget about Android and start using postmarketOS instead?

I bought Fairphone 6 and I will install postmarketOS on it in due time.
Because we need to start embracing it now, or we will never get it rolling.
Indeed! Trying to move my stuff to my Pixel and use it more, even if some wrinkles are there.
Please note Fairphone 6 is not properly supported yet, but the effort is there.
Tried it. Except for a couple of fairphones, you really can’t use your phone even to make basic calls, etc.
