The problem is that everything is so reliant on apps nowadays. Paying for parking? There are multiple apps for that. Want to make payments on the go? Gotta use the banking app. Want to buy a bus or a train ticket? Download the app. Appointment with a dentist or a doctor? Download our app that has 500 built in trackers! Here in Scandinavia It feels impossible to live without a smartphone and these stupid apps. At least make a web app so that I don't have to download spyware. I would love a linux phone, but if it isn't compatible with these apps I might as well just get a Google Pixel running GrapheneOS.
