I've messed around with funky phones, and after having an emergency call fail on two different ones, I've decided not to mess about with them anymore (GrapheneOS on some random pixel and a funky e-ink phone). Maybe it works great on whatever linux phone you mean but my path forward has looked more like just always using secondhand androids until I can install fdroid anymore, and then just using a linux phone tethered to a dumbphone that can hotspot. Finding out you can't call emergency services when you really super duper need to is something I never want to risk happening to me again.
