  • Do you mean the pretending to be a pixel part? Just click on the gear icon in Aurora and you should see an option to do that. You select the device and then Aurora restarts and you can try if the app can be installed afterwards. If not try a different device. I only had one sparkasse app that absolutely refused to be downloaded from anywhere else but Google play. For banking apps in general you’ll find a list of working apps somewhere on the e/os forum.


  • I’m using e/OS on a fairphone 5 and it’s OK. You have to put up with some extra work if you don’t want to rely on Google stuff. Banking apps can be a pain, I can update some apps I installed via Aurora only of I tell Aurora to pretend it’s a pixel instead of a fairphone. Other than that, I got the stuff working I use the most and I’ve never used a lot of the “convenient” stuff like voice assistant or Google drive or whatever so switching to fully degoogled wasn’t as hard as I imagine it would be for someone deeper within Google’s grasps.


















  • I think the biggest advantage for my use case is the no fuzz aspect. In the rare case something goes wrong I can reboot and select the previous version that worked without a problem. Also the ease of mind knowing I can’t really fuck up my machine, as the important parts are immutable. Other than that I enjoy having everything gaming related already configured correctly as I use bazzite - but that’s probably also true for non immutable gaming oriented distros.
