I just want to be able to do basic things like banking without adware/spyware looking over my shoulders, which I'm guessing rules out Android?


Whatever adware Google is shovelling isn't part of the app your bank provides, so it wouldn't be an issue in the wine-like layer you want. But as other commenters point out, lots of banking apps don't like running in an emulated device.

If you want to use a banking app without Google or Apple dominating your device, look at something which defangs Android like GrapheneOS or LineageOS.


You're out of luck. The banking app is checking for your phone having a TPM signed by someone like Google or Samsung.
