From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

This fear keeps me back to flash custom ROM on my phone! Plus, I can not afford to have those banking apps not working!
If your phone is fully supported and not on the fringe of whatever project your interested in is, you're not in much trouble most of the time.
I might have done something wrong, but my banking apps never stopped working on LineageOS.
Custom ROMs are pretty safe to flash nowadays as long as you follow the instructions.
Banking apps don't work on custom ROMs only in certain countries.
