Tldw: He mentions the new beta version of Ubuntu touch solved many problems. And he’s going to use it as a daily driver going forward.
The problems he had were banking apps, photo sync, copy-paste from waydroid to Ubuntu touch, and notifications between waydroid and Ubuntu touch. He shows the waydroid to/from Linux works in KDE. So, probably a relatively quick fix for those 2 problems.
Edit: spelling.
Don’t banks have websites he can log into?
Banks that are platform-agnostic should be favoured by the linux enthusiasts.
Do you know of any banks that are platform agnostic? I don’t think it’s a matter of the banks choosing to exclude other operating systems as much as a matter of internal resources to develop and maintain a secure app on an OS few of their users would use.
If you know of any banks that have apps that work on a Linux phone I think that’d be a great list to start and pin to the community.
The compatible list would be like GrapheneOS’s right? Apps that’ll work with MicroG without the full Google Play service. Both banking apps I use do. Only one of those two banks will let me login without the app however, the desktop website forces use of their app as an authenticator.

It’s become easier to do many things without Play Services and even microg, as many apps have been adapted for Google-free Huawei devices :D
But we still need a lot more open APIs, then people can just build alternative software that’s FOSS.
