I really want to use Lineage, I really do. I have a device thats supported and can easily unlock the bootloader, but I'd need my bank apps all to work, and I know that they don't. Even if they did, I don't want the uncertainty of them not working when a few don't have a internet banking without an app, and others require an app for 2fa, otherwise I'd use Lineage in a heartbeat. This feels like an issue for the EU to step in on, a functional duopoly created by apps for essential services that almost everyone needs requiring one of 2 platforms to work.

Never going to happen, for the same reason the EU forced Apple to open the NFC chip: They're working for European businesses, not European people. European banks depend on a having a trustable platform for their apps. They are going to lobby hard against such rules because they don't want to be overrun by fraud. Maybe Apple will help you out if you're lucky. They seem to hold a grudge, and maybe they will lobby the EC for such a rule just to fuck over the banks who forced them to open up the NFC chip.

Same. The hardware attestation made it so no open source os can run with full functionality. Not grapheneos, not lineageos. I'm stuck on normal android, and probably stuck on a pixel because I want updates and Samsung keeps delivering horrible uis and phones that break on my wife
