I have finally received my preordered Librem 5 (GNU/Linux smartphone) and am very happy with it. While it certainly has rough edges (mainly the battery life of 10-12 hours, because suspend to RAM is still in development), it feels amazing to be in full control of my mobile device and to run a full desktop OS on it.

The Librem 5 looks great.

The thing that kills is for me is the lack of NFC. I haven't carried a wallet / cards with me since about 2018 and I'm not super eager to go back.

How would you use your bank card (nfc) without the proprietary app? Clone your physical card's nfc signature somehow?
