    I rock a Fairphone4 running CalyxOS. Apart from the hardware switches on the Purism phone, I don’t quite see what I’m missing out on privacy-wise.

      Privacy-wise CalyxOS is even better in my opinion.

      Tho I really want to run Linux phone.

        This is something a lot of people aren’t gonna like hearing, but this is correct. CalyxOS (my choice as well), GrapheneOS, DivestOS, even LineageOS that you harden on your own, are gonna be more private and secure than the current class of Linux phones.

        That’s not to say this will always be the case, I imagine that eventually a proper Linux-based mobile OS could be more private and secure. But for the near (and even foreseeable) future, a de-Googled, privacy and security centered Android ROM is going to be the much better choice.
