Impressive. :)

What is the benefit of building / manipulating packages?

Isn’t everything susceptible to such “attacks”?

Care to provide more information?

Tumbleweed! :)

Yeah, just so you know I also run Linux. Now that you are clearly interested let me know if you need opinions on distros.

NFC payments ARE supported by Graphene. Gpay is not, due to google not supporting it. If your bank app, has the option and no reliance to gpay you will be able to pay with your phone.

IIRC the project has a page with the ones that do work.

NFC is working as expected on graphene. As is mobile payments, if your bank supports it.

Google pay does not work because Google does not allow it to work, there is not a technical reason behind that.
