LineageOS: what breaks? Banking. I have a fairly robust risk appetite, but rooting a device to install a closed-source fork of Magisk that hides itself well enough that I can spoof Play Integrity so my bank's app will run is a few steps too far in the wrong direction. So choose what you prefer: access to your money, or some amount of control over your digital leash.

I see no way forward after September that doesn't involve having two phones: one that mostly lives at home for the applications that absolutely won't run without maximum verification, and one for daily use. At that point, I might as well get a used iOS device for the banking stuff.

This fucking sucks.

@theodric I will likely remove/disable all but the Android phone and SMS apps, and use it for basic communication only. My cell plan is much less expensive than a landline. Then I will hack my various Lenovo tablets to run a version of Linux, and do most things in a browser, over the wifi. My other computers already run on Linux.
