I spent more than a year running Arch Linux on the Pinephone. I was surviving, but honestly not thriving, there's so much of modern life that unfortunately requires "real" phones.

Pox upon ye that requires mobile wallet RFID to open doors.

Open doors?

It is a bit of an obscure situation, but you know how some places use RFID identity cards to do authentication, including to do stuff like let you into a building? Well imagine if it got replaced with mobile-first phone based RFID.
