Spotify is a big ask because google would have to port widevine (the web DRM.) I've been switching to sound cloud because of this. I'm guessing you're from Europe and that's why your bank needs an "app" instead of just having a website. Here in the US think or swim (the fancy Canadian robinhood style UI for stock trading) works fine in icecat if you turn off librejs.
I think everything else is there. Also Linux games are generally better than Android ones IME. (although I haven't run any besides nethack on my pinephone.)
- nutanc 6y agoI am actually from India. The bank mobile websites are good enough. But the apps have some good user flow for P2P payments etc. But yeah, I can live with a good mobile website.

As for banking, I can't speak for all of Europe, but web apps are generally optimized for desktop use, apps have some convinient features, like scanning the QR code of a bill and pay it with one tap, instead of having to type in everything manually when it's on paper, or copy paste it from a PDF. Additionally some banks require an app for 2FA for the web interface on PC too.
