I am worried that soon we will need a "decent enough to buy" list because it will be difficult to find anything that is not on the "never buy again" list.

    There are only a few companies that make the actual panels (regardless of how the finished TV or monitor was branded), and two of the biggest (LG and Samsung) are the worst offenders in terms of enshittification. It would not take much at all for the availability of new non-enshittified TVs and computer monitors to drop to literally zero.

    Your buying Linux?

    But honestly, I already switched on my PC and would like to switch to any open distro on my phone as well, but I'm worried that bank applications won't work on the "unofficial" system.

    Quite a few banking apps work on Graphene OS. My bank isn't listed and it works on Graphene too (I really should contribute to that list). The big downside is probably having to buy a new phone for it but if you need to upgrade anyway it might be worth considering. The only app I've run into so far that didn't just work was the Target app but it works with a bit of tinkering. I've only been using Graphene on my phone for two weeks now but all of the apps I used on my old phone are on here and working.
