    We rapidly need to switch to Linux Mobile. PostmarketOS and Mobian are the two most promising projects, and I would highly recommend anyone reading this to donate to them if you have the means.

    Both projects directly use your donations to hire developers to build and polish the critical essentials to get this alternative viable as a daily driver.

      While I full heartily agree with you, I’m pessimistic you will ever reach enough people with these alternatives. Even on privacy forums you hear people fervently defending how banking apps are mandatory. Those will never run on anything that isn’t locked down. The eID proposal for the EU is also dependent on Android and iOS.

        how banking apps are mandatory.

        This i don’t get, i’d rather use home-banking from my home PC.

          A lot of banks require their personal apps as 2FA to access your account. I would never agree to that.
