But is it straight-forward to set up on any PC, or just those locked down with proprietary single vendor controlled software?
In the latter case, it is not in any way better than a proprietary phone. In practice probably worse, since it is easier and cheaper to keep an extra phone around.

Was running it fine on Linux IIRC (maybe look it up if you're actually interested?), but again, long time ago so things may have changed.
EDIT: Things seem to have deteriorated quite a bit and no major improvement in sight. Maybe not a surprise.

Authorities should also still accept alternatives like Freja (if there's anything they won't close the door on it's making it straightforward to pay your taxes, I guess).
I'm far from happy wit the situation and would prefer that authorities take an open standards-approach compatible with FLOSS. But it's also not as terrible as it may seem at first.
