I didn’t know that and then it would make me happy to know that Lemmy is beating Reddit at something, but I still think we’re far away from having open source phones we could use every day in every situation.

They work for people whose priority is freedom and that are GNU/Linux experts. So I don’t think it’s productive to make general statements like that. If there is something that sucks (like battery life), you should say what it is exactly.

I don’t really know because I don’t have a Linux phone yet, but apparently banking apps would be a problem on these phones when they aren’t on my Linux computer. It’s just an example, but an important one for me. But I’m clearly just dipping my toes in the Linux phone world so I’m not an expert.

@Dariusmiles2123 @lemmeee I am using degoogled /e/ OS and banking apps (German and Swedish banks) work fine because proprietary Google Mobile services were replaced with open-source Microservices.

It ain’t a Linux phone but a combination of /e/os and Fairphone is also probably what I’d use.

It’s good to know your banking apps are working flawlessly.
