I have been trying Linux on mobile. This is a hobby.

I have been using GrapheneOS... honestly it's just like a normal Android after two steps:

1. Install GrapheneOS (their installer is incredibly good, it just works).

2. From the GrapheneOS store, install the Play Store (it's like 3 taps).

After that it's a normal Android, except it's more secure and you get updates (meaning that you are on the latest version of Android, always).

did you have issues with banking apps, authenticator apps or outlook on workprofile?

I ask, because when I was using cyanogenmod a hundred years ago, banking apps were a major pain. And now I am using outlook on a flagship with stockrom, and outlook on workprofile is still a major pain, and I can easily imagine, it working even worse on grapheneos.

I don't have outlook, but Teams works normally, as far as I can tell

> authenticator apps

No issues there with the Microsoft Authenticator and Yubico Authenticator.

> banking apps

My banking apps work, but that's not the case for all of them. I would personally change bank rather than leaving GrapheneOS. The annoying part could be work apps (I wouldn't want to have a second phone just for work), but my bank I can change :-).
