From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

You can use a mobile device for this.
I use Bitwarden, so I just have a shortcut in my launcher to my bank's web browser page, Bitwarden autofills, and I'm in my account in a few seconds. Honestly, it might just be my bank that's the issue, but their old mobile app took longer to load than it takes me to log into their webpage anyway (and it would log me out half the time). Years ago I thought this would be an issue for me when I planned to de-google, but it turns out it's a complete non-issue (for me) and in fact I actually like the web page better. I'm able to do a lot of things in the browser that the app didn't have the ability to access (at least at the time; it's likely been updated).
Just throwing it out there that it's not necessarily an issue, and often the difference between the app and the webpage is blown out of proportion.
