From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

On which phone? How's the camera? What about banking apps ?
I have the same question about banking 2fa question too. It’s my main concern with Linux phones atm
Banking apps work through Waydroid for me.
It's PinePhone Pro. Camera works badly, but at the time of purchase, it did not work, so we are slowly getting there. Banking apps work through Waydroid.
It's not practical to use GNU/Linux on the phone, but fun 🙂
