      If you want to use it as your primary device, you may be locked out of using specific security focused apps such as banking apps.

      Mobile banking is probably the only reason I’m still on Android

        they locked me out already, so it does not matter. they can’t play the same card twice.

        I’ve yet to try a Linux Touch distro on a phone, but couldn’t you just save a shortcut to the website?

      What are you using right now because every Linux phone I’ve ever seen has been an unfinished working program that isn’t commercially ready.

        when people say linux phones, the point is not the kernel but believing it could have the same open ecosystem as the linux PC. no forced lockdown, no spyware, open source and in turn extensible system software, where its not the oligarchs who dictate. other then the first point these can be told about mostly none of the current phones, and even the first point is going away recently, despite that being the only way to get rid of the preinstalled, google mandated (and sometimes additional) malware.
