There’re also concerns that #LineageOS and other open source phone operating systems cannot support all hardware devices.

For me, 99% of all devices aren’t eligible at all for human rights reasons. For me, human rights come before performance, features and so forth.

The only manufacturers being considered for me are @Fairphone and @shiftphones. Maybe there’re a few others.
(I’m not involved in those companies at all, I’m just a user.)

@nixCraft The dependency on big tech is one of the reasons for me not to use banking apps at all. I use a separate TAN generator to create security tokens for me. For this to work I also needed to order a girocard from my bank; it costs about 12 bugs per year.
Since the Visa debit card which the bank pushes forward doesn’t work with the TAN generator.

Girocard is a German specific, I know. Unfortunately I’ve no idea about the availability of similar services in other countries.

@nixCraft we should stop using the term sideloading, the correct term is installing. It serves googles purposes to use that term and make it sound like you're doing something weird. We don't use that expression when installing software in other contexts.
