Can you run Linux on your phone? What are the technical obstacles to be overcome, which projects are working on them and with what funding?

Its not a technical obstacle preventing me from having one.
The companies that make the ones that do exist won’t offer them for sale on my continent.
jolla-devices.com seems to ship to a ton of places. I just got a Sony Xperia with SailfishOS. Seems pretty decent so far. I’m in the US with Mint Mobile.
With a big caveat that it’s not fully FLOSS. But it is a Linux phone.
I thought pine64 shipped world wide. Have you looked into the pine phone?
Pinephone and even Pinephone Pro are incredibly outdated as of today. They might work for just messing around with, but for a daily use phone, that’s not going to work.
Pine64 doesn’t ship to some countries, specifically neither Ukraine nor Russia. Occationally I see ads from someone buying one when in EU and then selling it here at multiple times the original price.
I haven’t looked recently. Didn’t know they now ship globally.
Then get an “Android phone” with decent mainline kernel support. Pixel 3a has decent support, several SDM845 phones have decent support, some others…
Antarctica?
