> Your banking app is not going to work on Linux either

Why is that? I can use my bank through Linux via a web browser without issue. Logging in more frequently is a hassle but not a bad trade IMO.

My bank doesn't even have a web portal, it's app-only. This is remarkably common in the UK, birthplace of Monzo, Revolut and Starling.

Presumably this is about apps which are required for authentication, even in the browser version.
