From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

why do you mention banking apps ? are they particularly difficult to run ?
Banking (and some digital ID) apps are notoriously difficult to run on degoogled custom ROMs because they will often check for Google services and bootloader lock/root status at startup. I've jumped through so many hoops to hide root, spoof GSF etc. In the end I resorted to just using my bank's website...
You're lucky to use the website.. All my banking apps need the app to login to their website. I open the app, it crashes and complains about not being a reliable system. Tried magisk and all those modules..only one of them works after all the hoops.
Yeah that's unbelievable, I had the same experience! You must never install your bank app, otherwise it will start always requiring it.
I confirm too that banking apps on /e/ is a bit of a nightmare. But I used /e/ for 3 years or so and was very happy until I moved to GrapheneOS.
Banking apps work on Graphene ? it's good to know because that would be a dealbreaker for me
Some do.
oh that's neat thanks for the link !!

So long as the browser login still works 🤷♂️
