I really wanted to use the Fairphone to replace my old model, but unfortunately eOS doesn't play well with the corporate apps I need to run for a daily driver phone. I tried Lineage just to see what I could do with it and had similar issues, all due to Google "security". Not at all unexpected but I was hoping I could work around it all. Ended up having to send it back at the end of my return window and settle on having all my data harvested on a phone that while not as bad as Apple isn't super easy to get parts for or get into the thing (Zenfone 10). Which sucks.
Maybe when I don't need to rely on work stuff in my personal phone I can find a solution here, but until then I'm just the loud annoying guy yelling at clouds.
Curious what kind of apps can't you run? Are we talking 2FA apps? Banking apps? NFC stuff?
