The standard for banks like capital one is, in order to login in a browser you must use their app 2fa, they do not support third party 2fa methods, and their app doesn't work under compatibility layers. That last part may come with a workaround, but my earlier point is that the normal end user wouldn't feel comfortable using such a thing if it is not officially allowed.
They also claim you can use 2fa by SMS, but that is first and foremost wrong since it isn't an option for payment portals, and secondly insecure.
A normal end user wouldn't be using a Linux phone.
I guess it is a matter of semantics at this point, but i take the year of the Linux phone to be when a phone running a Linux os is viable for the masses, which as my original message states is at least 10 years out.
