    Depending on your bank, you may be able to use their website.

    The “no apps” isn’t “that big of an issue” (at least for me), as there’s Waydroid available, and it’s just standard Linux with all the desktop apps right from Flathub. There’s also plenty of webapps available.

    There’s tons of other issues with Linux mobile, like general usability, battery life, responsiveness (especially when receiving calls or notifications), and hardware support.

    The biggest one I’m running into is sleep states. I can either have 4-ish hours of battery life, but if my phone is charged, I get notifications, alarms go off, and calls come in immediately. Or I can have about a day idle battery life, but have to check my phone before any of that stuff comes in.

    There’s also the fact I use my phone for media a lot (Jellyfin, Lemmy), and the experience isn’t great on Linux mobile. “Apps” integtate less with each other, and video playback is kind of a mess. (For example, I can’t “share” on a photo from Lemmy to send it to a friend on Matrix).
