I'm surprised every time I see an ad somewhere. TrackerControl seems to be an accidentally fantastic ad blocker (I got it just to block trackers) and it's super rare that an app doesn't use one of the known ad networks. It probably also helps to use apps from F-Droid whenever possible, which is surprisingly often (most of my apps are from F-Droid, some are stock like camera, dialer, and home screen, and then there's a couple like Spotify and NS/DB that are required for valid digital national rail tickets and I unfortunately can't get outside of Google Play).
Depending on your bank, Anbox or Waydroid may help you run your bank's app on your Linux device. Probably a no-go for most banks, but worth a shot to see if it'll work. You can just try it out on a Linux computer/VM first, no need to actually buy a Linux phone just to end up disappointed.

I use LineageOs and without Magisk magic I couldn't use contactless payments (still no Google Pay, but regional Blik contactless is good enough)
Android?

Yeah, I'm wondering, too. Android is a lot worse by design.
I would love to use a Linux phone, but my bank's 2FA doesn't support any.
