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.
Here in Sweden, bank issued ID on the phone is pretty much required for everything. You can’t function in society without it. It isn’t tied to Google or Apple, but you must have a smartphone that supports it (ie. iOS or Android).
So you can’t just carry around a debit or credit card for physical purchases?
