It’s pretty solid. I use it daily and don’t have any big problems. Install is simple. Just install adb and fastboot from your linux repository. This should cover the most of the installation requirements.
I don't know if installing from the repositories is such a fantastic idea. I've had instances where I've almost fucked up a device because I installed the ones from the repositories and they weren't new enough. I would recommend downloading the ones from Google directly.
Edit: the cli platform-tools
Sounds like either a terrible bug or user error. Which in both cases should be fixed.
Well, when I tried the one directly from the repository, my version of Android would not boot, but then I downloaded the one directly from Google and did the same commands. And it booted. So yeah, either it was a bug or something.
Sounds pretty straight forward. What is compatibility like? Have you tried any banking apps?
I have ING app, it works seamlessly through microG but I don't need it for basic use of the app. I don't use my phone to pay for stuff.
Haven't had any major apps not work on it. Except one banking app for a while in the beginning, but works now
I have no banking apps on that phone, sorry. So I don’t know if they work.
