I'm using Librem 5, a GNU/Linux phone with PureOS (Debian derivative). Full desktop Firefox runs smoothly with all desktop plugins.

How's Librem as a daily driver? Battery life, camera, reception/calls etc? I'm eager to get a proper Linux phone, but got burned by the awful performance of Pinephone.

Librem 5 is much more performant than Pinephone, however JS-heavy websites are not very usable. NoScript is the solution. Here is a couple of good review with which I agree:
