The experience of using a degoogled phone, both from the AOSP and Linux side of things.

I had to update to description since people kept thinking that I made the video.

Haven't tried Google wallet, but why should PayPal not work? I'm paying in my browser anyway

Haven't used PayPal much in the last..phew...2? years, but as I'm ordering in a browser and then get to PayPal or usually just done credit card screen, I didn't had any problems - besides PayPal changing rules like underwear and I'm a bit fed up with it

The app won't let you log in. Come to think of it, Same with the Wells Fargo app

Never used the PayPal app
And never needed it for any payment

Can't you do this all just by browser?

Wells Fargo let's you log in. I use it on a daily basis on my Pixel 8 Pro with GOS.
