Actually, better, dumbphone.org and dump all financial/auth/chat apps to an old Android phone that costs some $200.

That's doable for now in some places. But in an increasing number of countries, payments for just about everything are done directly from an Android or iOS app, so you'd always have to carry around this locked-down phone as well your Linux phone.

Yeah I do carry two phones with me. I agree it’s inconvenient.
