Sure, yeah, my wording was bad. I meant besides e/os/.

I think I tried that and it didn’t support my bank , unless I’m misremembering the app name.

As I read, it’s a common occurance on multiple roms (including graphene) since around 2025 with a dreaded “application is not official” or something similar.

I’ve experienced it on my fairphone 6 running iodé os and , unfortunately and because of nfc payments, I had to switch back to official rom and Whatsapp simply started working again with the same number.

Mind you, it only happens with new registrations, even if using the same number.

Edit: just search the vast internet for issues like “whatsapp not official error” or something.

worth adding:

1. whatsapp no longer works and requires attestation
2. Banking apps are a gamble
3. Weird quirks like stuck UI until multitasking is used and others

Look into iodé os also. e/os/ is way to iphone-esque,but iode is sticking to a cleaner approach and also allows bootloader locking, given you pay attention to the security patch versioning “security feature”.

You could also try Yagni launcher on fdroid. 2mb, still in alpha, but very much worth installing.

Good, I am waiting on my brand new Fairphone 6.

Came here for this comment.

I’m on the fence with getting a new phone. Should I buy something now, like a Pixel 10 or Fairphone 6 and flash Graphene/eOs on it, or wait for next gen which might have these restrictions?

The new Jolla phone can’t come soon enough. I truly believe the future of tech independence lies with linux, for us, europeans. Anyone welcome ofc.

I do hope it’ll be a good enough device, even if there will be no NFC phone payments possible.

I understand, but they are losing the train I guess. People are giving up easily when they need a solution fast.

I can’t even create an account on Stoat yet. New account confirmation emails take hours to arrive and by the time they do, they are already expired.

This is not a discord alternative yet and not be for a long time most likely.

i’m guessing ipfs is not an option.

2k is the best. For pc games it’s thr gold standard for me. I can hardly see the difference from between 2k and 4k and my GPU is grateful.

“rethinking Recall”… again. Doesn’t Microslop understand anything?

And here I thought I was special, seeing as other people actually bother enough to redeem those free games every week. I stopped doing it a long time ago and I’d rather pay for those games on steam/gog offers.

I can’t be bothered with epic even for the free ones.

I could sure, with usb passthrough, but the laptop is pretty shit, so it would just be painful and truthfully, I was also curious about how shitty W10 has gotten over the past 10 years.

I will reinstall linux after I’m done with it anyway.

I don’t know about such claims. I’ve just finished installing W10 on one of my laptops.

Use case? BMW coding tools are only built for Windows and using them via wine doesn’t really work.

As a long time Linux use I can’t even describe what I’m feeling right now.

Well, I’m 44 so I do remember those days, but I used to be a Netscape user, so there’s that.

For normies Chrome IS the internet.

One plus joined my short list of “I can’t be bothered” companies like Samsung and Apple, Xiaomi, Oppo and some other sub par companies.
