  Is GrapheneOS a good enough alternative?

  I am very interested in switching to that when their phone comes out… But I wish pure Linux were viable.

    It just works. Some banking apps won’t.

      One of my banking apps (Citi) didn’t even work in stock Android on a Pixel. It thinks I’m rooted lol.

      Everything works well enough in the browser though. Nowadays I just do all that stuff on a desktop PC. Not everything needs to be an app or even done on a phone.

      The desktop versions of bank websites have everything I need, whereas mobile versions can skip out on certain features. Plus, these apps tend to hoard perms for “security” reasons, or so they say.

      If you have a strong password and legit MFA (like TOTP or a physical key), use a trusted device/browser that’s good enough. There shouldn’t be a need to grab my location or nearby devices.

      Bonus points if the bank lets you review login sessions and deauth devices, flags things like impossible travel, etc.

      Credit unions tend to do better. DCU is one example. They excel at security, don’t do any silliness with perms in their app, let you review logins and devices, and have a strong MFA implementation. The big private national players just want to sell you to data brokers to pad their margins.

        I use the browser with a hardware TAN generator, though my bank’s app works fine on GOS.

    Graphene has some quirks, but overall experience is solid. Not perfect, but it does the job.

    We basically need an android compatibility layer before that can happen.

      Iirc, ValvE was working on one for the Steam Frame so all the Android VR games will run natively on SteamOS.
