I want to donate to a linux phone. I believe in linux and I want a linux phone. Maybe we can use one in very few years as a normal daily driver. It’s getting closer and closer every month.

I want to donate that we get there sooner. But which project? I’m following postmarket but I’m not sure if they are the most promising. What’s your stance on this? To which project would you give your money to accellerate it?

Edit: I don’t want to buy a phone. I want to support the phone os devs. Sorry for the bad wording.

    I have two banking apps that both run perfectly on Sailfish OS’s Android support layer. Obviously I’d prefer a native/webapp at a push but if for some reason you really need to use the banking app there are ways to do it.

      The rain why I need nativa banking apps is because there are some features that are only available through the app and not with web banking. Another thing about those support layers is that banking apps usually know how to detect rooted devices and stuff like that and won’t work.

      That’s unfortunate but it is what it is.

        Android emulation layers emulate secure, non-rooted devices and banking apps work.

        No, it isn’t.
