Banks that are platform-agnostic should be favoured by the linux enthusiasts.

As a Norwegian I’m required to use an app called BankID to log into various government services and banks. And that one does not run on «non secure» OSes

Although that might change with the whole EU pushing for open source etc

I would assume so, and that was my thought too, but I don't know for certain (just know what he says in the video).

In Finland bank apps are used as a form of digital ID / strong 2FA. You are pretty much forced to have it

All mine do, and as some of their apps don't work on GrapheneOS, my solution has been to add links to their website to my homepage. It's not that big of an inconvenience for me personally

I believe he did mention that as well as other options, like having a dedicated second phone for that functionality

In my country they kinda force you into using their apps since you must use them as 2FA to login..so even if you try to use the website, you're forced to use the freaking app..that many times does not work with custom Roms..I've been jumping around for 2 years, bank to bank app. Once it stops working I open an account at a different one and try to use the App..banking is the one thing that keeps people from leaving Google's Android IMHO

Yes, the phone was taken for vacation photos.

Of note, this is Ubuntu Touch, not postmarketOS. The cameras look fine, likely because Volla phones (what he is using) are more open compared to the big brand phones. Plus, I think Ubuntu Touch uses more of the proprietary bits left over from Android while pmOS avoids some of that, so that might be another factor

Some people work around this by not using the WhatsApp app on the Linux phone and instead using XMPP and a https://slidge.im transport running on a Pi in the closet. :D

I personally do that to avoid using slow Matrix clients that eat up a lot of resources.
