    Amost all banking apps are moving towards using the secure android layer which means they will never work on something that can’t fully emulate that. Even in things like grapheneos with gapps installed in a profile they sometimes don’t work. If banking apps are what you are waiting for that is already very hard and will only become less likely to work over time.

      Pretty much everyone, or at least many people, will need this eventually (although it is likely shortsighted of banks to lock into a system provided by one or two companies HQ’d in the same country).

      So I hope a solution will be found. But this is just one of the issues why a Linux phone isn’t quite there yet. At least not for me. Wish it were.
