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.

I have two banking apps that both run perfectly on Sailfish OS's Android support layer. Obviously I'd prefer a native/webapp at a push but if for some reason you really need to use the banking app there are ways to do it.
The rain why I need nativa banking apps is because there are some features that are only available through the app and not with web banking. Another thing about those support layers is that banking apps usually know how to detect rooted devices and stuff like that and won’t work.
That’s unfortunate but it is what it is.
Android emulation layers emulate secure, non-rooted devices and banking apps work.
No, it isn't.
