That is part of why I only buy pixel phones used these days. I can get a last years flagship for 1/2 price, and I know it will run Lineage or Graphene. Given I generally hold onto a phone for about 4 years it ends up being a great value.
Did magisk become a lot better at hiding from banking apps? Because people have been saying “it’s fine, just install magisk and use the option to hide it” but my experience is “it only works sometimes for some apps, otherwise you’re fucked or you will be fucked next time the app updates its countermeasures”. But that was a few years ago.
It’s an absolute dealbreaker though. Without reliable mobile banking and eID it’s very painful to do any kind of online payment or admin work.
Seriously this. I don’t understand why suffering through manufacturers, customized skins and os’s makes any sense when lineage is such a solid option.
Lineage on my phone Linux on my computers degoogling services running on a micro cluster. It’s never been easier to get away from big tech.
My previous phone wasn’t compatible with lineage nor any of the other popular android derivatives.

No idea, I don’t use magisk. I have lineageOS installed and mobile banking set up and never had to do anything funky…
