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
Yes, that’s exactly what I mean, as far as I know UT lacks it, I didnt look much into PmOS because my pixel isn’t well supported, but that’s great to hear
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?
Not me, my friend uses UT ( not as a daily driver ), the experience - in my opinion - is like using an Android from 2013, I didn’t like the UI, the web browsing experience because it’s laggy, and the lack of native apps, maybe with the feature release we might see a redesign
I saw people using Linux phones just because they wanna cut off their phone addiction, less apps, less notifications… Etc
like ever ?! why ?
I’m very optimistic about Linux mobile OS ( specifically Posh and Ubuntu Touch ), I think in a couple of years it will be " ready to use "
for now my main issue with them is security, since they don’t support encryption yet
Also, the web browsing experience truly sucks now
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.
You can always run android apps using wayDroid
Would a banking app with specific authentication requirements really work through that though? Reliably too?

Is the PPP any good now? I have one in the drawer, it was mostly unusable when I bought it.
