MigratingtoLemmy,

I would love to be able to use a Linux mobile as my primary but I know that’s not going to happen, unfortunately.

Maybe some tech giant pumping money in a 3rd eco-system would help, i think it’s very likely to happen one day

    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.

    asexualchangeling,

    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.

    SciPiTie,

    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!

    lambipapp,

    Everything in Sweden is authenticated through the same app ‘BankID’. We even have our passports in there.

    SciPiTie,

    Not saying that I’m jealous or anything but… I am. Please insert here a personal insult that would offend you adequately!

    dewritoninja,

    You can always run android apps using wayDroid

    PixxlMan,

    Would a banking app with specific authentication requirements really work through that though? Reliably too?

    dewritoninja,

    I can’t speak for all of them, but I’ve tried the 2 apps my bank has and they work great

    chayleaf,

    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

    trevor,

    I’m getting “Android Gingerbread on an HTC EVO” vibes, which is not a bad thing. It stands out, in a good way.

    Piwix,

    Love the look of this, would love to be able to use this on my current phone

    Kde plasma seems to complex for a phone

    Waluigis_Talking_Buttplug,

    Why

    Fizz,
    @Fizz@lemmy.nz avatar

    I’m thinking of desktop plasma mainly. It seems to complicated to be moving and customizing Taskbars on a phone. Plasma is janky enough on pc.

    eliasp,

    That’s why Plasma is built to support different shells, optimized for different form factors which allows to do this stuff like the Netbook shell in the past or now Plasma Bigscreen for TVs or Plasma Mobile for smartphones.

    pineapplelover,

    I understand your concerns but if you can run it in a raspberry pi then I feel like running it on a phone should be fine

    Contend6248,

    We literally already have Linux phones, but i would love to cut some bullshit in the middle and go more upstream one day

    toastal, (edited )

    Nothing would make me more happy. I really wish it weren’t such a pain to deal with the telephony. You check devices on postmarketOS & while some devices can boot, it’s usually the actual phone part that isn’t working–which is kind of an important part. The open hardware phones work fine, but their specs are ancient while being as expensive as flagships. I still have eventual hope tho as device needs have started to plateau.
