Easy is the goal, but it turns out mobile OSes are hard to make, harder when the entire for-profit ecosystem is actively trying to undercut free solutions. Right now I'm working with old devices that, while they are running postmarketOS, are still pretty janky and have a lot of missing functionality. Still, a lot progress is being made, by an army of regular folks who pitch in when and where they can, and somehow the boulder of free software slowly but inexorably rolls uphill. It's very cool to watch.
Yup. I'm actually planning on getting a second phone that will be my daily driver, one that I can just try out different things, like whatever Linux OS's there are available etc. Then have another phone that I will do the banking stuff and whatnot.
