Starting September 30th, there’s going to be a tsunami of Android users looking for an alternative system fleeing this developer verification malware.
In your opinion, are things like post market OS and the rest of the Linux phone ecosystem ready to take on these new users?
SailfishOS as main driver since at least 2020.
On several of the Sony Xperias.
I’m not looking back.
I know what people are going to criticize about it.
It’s a EU company, I have read all the small print and I trust them.
do banking apps (or apps that require some sort of attestation) work? That’s my blocker.
Yes.

But I’m with OP here; I simply use my browser, I don’t even want to install my bank’s app (it’s listed as working well).
if the bank has the same functionalities on web. Spoiler alert, they don’t. Credit cards need to approve online transactions on the APP, not website. Bank website has pretty much only kyc info, no payments.
On the plus side there’s an app on that list that I could move to.
As far as banking apps go, I would do exactly what I’m doing now and use my bank from the web browser.
Unfortunately my country (sweden) has built the entire society around a 2FA-app created by the banks. When I need banking apps, it’s not to handle bank things, it’s to pay for a bus ticket, book an appointment at the dentist, sign contracts, log into my work computer, etc. It’s very difficult to function in society without this app.
Plenty Swedes use SfOS, this has been mentioned on the forums, and it is working.
It’s similar in Finland btw and does not even require an app (depending on your bank of course).
That’s why I use GrapheneOS
Does it have any kind of accessibility? I have seen the accessibility section of PHOSH and GNOME Mobile on post-market OS, and while they don’t seem to have a screen reader, they do seem to have the zoom capabilities for magnification, which is part of what I need.
I saw a YouTube video from 8 months ago where somebody was trying the Jolla C2 and specifically mentioned the lack of accessibility settings.

I do trust them, they’re great people, but I don’t like the proprietarieness of it :(
