For the desktop, I could probably just use Linux, but you're right, in terms of eco-system, where would I go? Phones are even worse. You basically stuck on iOS

Phones are even worse. You basically stuck on iOS and Android and I honestly see no situation where picking Android wouldn't be worse. You have a better selection of phone, and you could run /e/OS, Calyx, or something else, but that's just a hassle. I'm not a big fan of the direction iOS is developing, it tried to do way to much and the UI has become a mess.
- fakedang 1y agoGraphene OS?
- mrweasel 1y agoGraphene, Calyx, /e/OS... they work and you can install apps from the Play Store, the feedback I got is just that the few apps I need that can't be replaced keeps breaking. It's just more of a hassle than I'm willing to endure. But you right, it is an option.
- fakedang 1y agoI think banking apps don't play well with it. In the event that I have to deprecate my current Android, I might have a go at installing Graphene and trying it out in various countries.
- rglullis 1y agoDo you must have banking apps in your phone? And even if you do, do you need them so often that the apps must be installed in your daily driver?
- mrweasel 1y agoNo, actually I don't because my banks app is awful, but my mobile payment app isn't any good if it's not on my phone.
