Hello Kindly Nerds, Trying to get my gf to adopt alt tech. Got her a Google Pixel 3A XL and stuck Ubuntu Touch on it. All works great but it's a bit hit and miss when she tries to log in to online banking. It worked a couple of times but mostly she enters her passcode to login and nothing happens. It's the same with the other browsers in the app store. Haven't tried with the onion browser. If there is anything that can be done, I would love to know about it. I've got all the boxes ticked: good camera, she's using telegram to message, good battery life but this being able to login to her bank is a bit of a deal breaker. Also, I found a tablet (something like 'BQ Aquaris') which came with UT installed on it for my 3 year old to watch some kid's stuff on YouTube. I don't suppose the Morph browser can block the insufferable ads somehow? As always any advice appreciated. Best Wishes Matt

@ matt73 said in Normie girlfriend lacks enthusiasm and daughter bombarded with ads : she doesn't share my excitement and enthusiasm for the linux project and privacy. Not to rain on your parade, but... So what is her motivation for using UT? Or doesn't she have one and all the motivation is on your end? Honestly if that is the case, I don't think that she'll 'get used to it' and frankly she shouldn't. People should not use UT just because others tell them to. She needs a reason that is hers and hers alone, not just because I (you) say so. If she doesn't have one, she will never stick with it or she will never be a happy UT user. How about LineageOS + MicroG? Would that be a better fit?
