That's good to know, thank you for sharing. Do you feel that there is cause for concern regarding this along with recent legislation mandating age verification?
Again, not an expert, I'm still trying to learn to navigate this field in my attempts to regain control of my devices.

I have been running GrapheneOS on a Pixel 9a.
I setup Void Linux on my ThinkPad T440p first (I use this as more of a computer just for tinkering), and then on my E14 gen 6, which is my daily driver.

Can you elaborate on how? I'm by no means an expert and would appreciate any information you can share.
From my understanding, systemd is implementing the system for applications to request age ranges. While I understand this is not as intrusive as age verification in other systems being implemented, it seems to be laying the groundwork for it.
I have also come across other issues people have with systemd, would you mind sharing your stance on this? I have thus far been pleased in learning to use runit on Void Linux.

If you're looking for a de-Googled #Android phone, I highly recommend GrapheneOS. I switched from using Google Android a few months ago as my daily driver and couldn't be happier.
I don't know about specifically banking applications, but I have to have several apps for work that rely on Google Services, and have had no issues with any of them.
On the note of switching to #linux beware that many distributions are implementing age verification as well through the reliance on systemd.
I have switched to Void Linux from Debian and Fedora, and am so far quite pleased with it. It is certainly a learning process, but I'm very satisfied with the OS.

Hi all,
I am an IT professional from the US.
Interests include open source technology, networking and infrastructure. I also enjoy learning about the sciences and spending time outdoors in nature.
Recent projects have included switching to Linux (and trying out the BSDs), as well as GrapheneOS and building my home network using OPNsense and OpenWRT.
I have removed myself from traditional social media and have been lurking here for a while, hoping to find a more positive community to participate in.
