Since Android is becoming increasingly more locked down and slopped, I’m jumping ship.

    Interesting reading, thank you! While I’m not looking to switch just now, I want to stay up to date since Linux seems like only really viable option going forward. May I ask you how about wireless payment or banking stuff work on Linux?

      There’s little hope since it’s a closed system with authentication chain to google. It doesn’t even work on android phones when google doesn’t feel like it.
      Europe has a few banks that have their own system that might be possible to get running with very good emulation. But those apps too are obfuscated closed blobs with endless proprietary root detection stuff.

      A good solution would need some fundamental change in how payments work.
