Comment on Google will block sideloading of unverified Android apps starting next year
ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 2 days agoI would imagine the first thing any custom ROM would do is bypass Google’s app restrictions.
Those restrictions don’t apply to custom ROMs. Yes, it’s clear Google is trying to kill custom ROMs but I think we still have couple of years. Linux phones are improving fast and I think in 5 years we will end up in the same spot we were with PCs 20 years ago: you will be able do most of daily driving on a Linux phones but some apps just won’t be possible to run (Authenticator apps, banking apps, Whats App, Android Auto…). Dual booting will not be possible so most probably I will end up with two phones: daily driver and work/car phone.

There are not going to be apps on Linux phones.
Definitely not banking apps

Not with that attitude!
Get either your political ass to demand that in your country banks support more than just two OSes, or your coding ass so that you can get into programming work pipeline and one day code the Flatpak for your bank. Either would benefit you and everyone else.

Well, most people use iOS or android, so we are talking about a very specific and dedicated bunch here.

Some places are killing the web interface entirely and going app-only.

As very often is said: vote with your wallet and avoid those (assuming it’s important to you).
