From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Until it can run my banking app it's unfortunately not a contender, no matter how much I want it
Is there any specific use case for the app that you don't get with the mobile website?
I've figured out that my bank's app is basically a wrapper for the mobile website, the only thing they added being fingerprint login.
Instantly deleted the app and use the website now, one less thing that can potentially spy on me.
I have several bank accounts and at least here they all use their dedicated app for mandatory 2fa - Bastards..
And yes, literally: don't want to use our app? Don't get an account with us!
Everything in Sweden is authenticated through the same app 'BankID'. We even have our passports in there.
Not saying that I'm jealous or anything but.... I am. Please insert here a personal insult that would offend you adequately!
what do you even mean "don't support encryption"? Do you mean FDE? In that case PostmarketOS supports it, and you can get any other distro to use FDE if you tinker hard enough
~~I believe PostmarketOS with the PinePhone Pro is a decent experience.~~ Nope, it's not. Don't get it if you don't want to contributr your time to the project. With that said, I'm not too confident on its usability, 2 years after its release. What do you run and what has your experience been like?
Is the PPP any good now? I have one in the drawer, it was mostly unusable when I bought it.
