You can’t even set up signal without a monopoly phone.. Well, there is way with rufus, I think, but it is not officially supported or recommended by signal
And whatsapp is a tricky one too.
You could try waydroid to get some APK installed, but it is not really with all that low spec linux phones that have a battery life of 1/2 day at most.
Why is there no high spec Linux phone 🥲 imagine, you could use the same brick forever, well, if all the drivers are added to the mainline kernel and are actively maintained to support kernel API changes.
