Not quite dead yet:

https://ubports.com/
https://ubuntu-touch.io/
https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2020/07/pine64-launches-postmarketos-edition-phones-and-new-upgraded-hardware/

But admittedly, not really usable on many modern phones.

And then there's:

https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2019/09/purisms-librem-5-phone-starts-shipping-a-fully-open-gnulinux-phone/

But also, not something most people would really want to use as a real
