I can really recommend the Fairphone 3/4/5 with eOS, using them for more then 7 years now. The hardware is slightly more expensive due to their mission (fair traded minerals, sustainability, reparability). They are very good as second hand devices because of the cheap spare parts. eOS does everything you need, including banking apps.

Why not GNU Taler?

It looks like we are not doing one or two steps backwards, it’s like a sprint back to the 1960s. And it’s worldwide, not just the US. Almost as if the people in power just gave up and decided to squeeze as much out of this planet as possible.
