No, not suitable at all. I would be more interested in using my phone with GrapheneOS as only device.

But:

• mail filters work fine with my provider, not in K-9mail (fair-email gives me anxiety)
• office stuff just sucks, Collabora is as big as Libreoffice but no GUI options
• MPV is very barebones and VLC very far behind on updates
• missing GIMP
• missing PDF editing
• missing video or audio editing
• missing code editing
• missing commandline stuff
• no qbittorrent, Aria2 works but only for leeching, BiglyBT works but has a weird UI and restricted features
• no browser with tab groups, containers, security, etc.

But for a ton of other stuff a phone works very well

• obvious one: small form factor
• uses very little battery, awesome standby battery consumption
• camera, audio, video recording
• media consumption
  • offline (MPV, Gallery apps (why is this not a thing on desktops?), music players, antennapod)
  • online: grayjay, soundbound, antennapod, rimusic, …
• messaging (simplex, signal, element, briar, …)
• slight image editing (snapseed)
• image compression (signal, save before sending, exit)
• video cutting (signal, save before sending)
• writing markdown (markor, acode)
• weather
• webapps
• social media (jerboah, fedilab, …)
• navigating (there is no OSMAnd alternative on Linux)

In many areas there are way more apps for android, in many others way less.
