    Can I use my work shit on a Linux phone or custom Rom. Also what are my hardware options with those.

      Linux phones aren’t quite there yet, and one of the big problems from what I understand is simply that the hardware is locked down. Firmware and drivers aren’t readily available, and so supporting handsets is just really hard.

          I don’t know if they’d even be up for it but at this point I think the best option would be Framework getting into it as theyre already trusted by the community.

          But even if we get the hardware down there’s another issue - we need an open source, government approved, bank approved Wallet app. There’s only Google or Apple wallet to store important documents on Mobile at the moment. Frustratingly, some governments are using only those two as a source for national verification which is obviously a problem.

            would it not be theoretically possible to run a virtual OS to use an app like that on a linux phone?

      If it’s designed for Android, not a phone using desktop Linux, but you can on a custom ROM which is probably a variant of AOSP.

      Also what are my hardware options with those.

      Incredibly specific and restrictive, do your homework carefully. Pixels are usually (always?) good, which is ironic, while certian manufacturers like Samsung are right out.

      I found a model that works secondhand and I’m as happy as a pig in shit with it, FYI.

        They don’t deem it necessary and it’s not really but it helps me to not be chained to my desk all day when I can check Teams and Email on the go.
