Of course, I already did. I've been using GNU/Linux smartphones since 2008: first Neo FreeRunner, then Nokia N900, now Librem 5. I don't feel like I'm missing anything at all.
- kwhitefoot 4y agoWill it run Android or Apple banking apps? Does it have a good camera? It's great that it suits you but I think it would not suit most people.
- seba_dos1 4y agoI run a banking app in an Android container (Waydroid) without problems, and the camera is certainly good enough.
- kwhitefoot 4y agoSounds good. Now all it needs is a dramatic reduction price; it's about ten times what I paid for my Moto G30 a couple of years ago which has more RAM, more storage, more and higher resolution cameras. I'm not against the idea, but as it stands it's very much a niche product for people who can afford, and are willing, to pay considerably more than average for less capable hardware.
- makeitdouble 4y agoWhat strikes me is, these questions have already be solved: our desktops have access to banking, and they can have good cameras. Inherently, these are not technical problems. On the other hand, they become social problems when the services firmly cuts off web access and anything that's not iOS or Google's android. IMHO generic customer banks shouldn't be allowed to do that.
