I’ve been looking into moving towards a more privacy friendly OS on my phones; I’ve been deGoogling my phones to the maximum extension I can manage, deactivating stock apps and putting in as much FOSS possible.

But what other options are there out there?

I don’t want to go full out into Linux Phone territory, as I am not tech savvy enough to maintain a phone on that line, and I have two bank and a carrier applications I would like to keep using.

As I write this, Murena and their /e/ OS seems to be a good option, as they have some accessibly priced equipments and the OS itself seems to be a clean(er) Android.

    From what I’ve gathered, needing banking apps to participate in society is growing more common in Europe than the US, but i could be wrong there.

      In France it still depends on the bank. I can access 3 different banks on the web without an application, but others can be blocked. It sucks.
