Did you know that @purism is working towards a new release for the #Librem5 #FOSS phone?
The name of this new version is #Crimson. Crimson will be the next version of the PureOS #Linux distribution for the Librem 5.
#Purism only earns once money on their sell of a #phone, because Purism is not selling your data.
Since July 2024 you can take an optional subscription to advance the #PureOS development.
Since then there has been a monthly report on the progress.

Great to read the #monthly PureOS #Crimson development report for February 2025: improved SD card stability on suspend.

Thanks to all people who support this effort with totally optional PureOS subscriptions. And of course also thanks to all people who work on this!
Here you can support the improvement of #PureOS, the #Linux distribution that is provided by @purism for the
#Librem5 #phone:
Dear #linuxmobile community, my linux-phone-as-daily-driver-journey took me from 2years of #librem5 (everything functions, but way to slow & outdated software) to 1year of #op6t (perfect phone - except that calling is not reliable:D) to some months of the #pixel3a now. feels like this could be the happy end of my journey, because you can actually use it as a fast-enough phone!:) a minor thing is however the missing gps: does anybody know if that can be fixed? or is it a hardware thing?
@itsfoss Would this also work for #mobilelinux #linuxonmobile?
@chesterdott @dos I would recommend to buy a native #Linux #phone if you can afford it. In that way you are supporting Linux phone manufacturers. I'm using a #Librem5 as my daily driver. I can handle some inconvenience to gain freedom and support free and open source phones.
I daily enjoy the goodness of having a phone that is very similar to my Linux computers and that is totally accessible and configurable. A phone that I can understand and control.
Weekly GNU-like #MobileLinux Update (09, 10/2025): Too much to put in a title
Erf, I upgraded my #mobian #librem5 and it break the mobile-config-firefox

I dig a little and seems to be an issue with FileUtils

@ph00lt0 @nicorikken @bert_hubert
The #Librem5 is as secure as any #Linux system. Actually more secure because of the hardware kill switches for wifi, mobile data, camera, microphone and sensors.
I can use nearly all Linux apps. There are many secure options for communication. Like Signal and Matrix clients.
Many Linux apps are adaptive these days. See for example:
@ph00lt0 @nicorikken @bert_hubert
The #Librem5 is a full #Linux phone. #Phosh looks very similar to my #GNOME desktop. I can ssh into the Librem 5 without any issues. It is designed to give me full control and #freedom. Like any #FOSS product. I appreciate that daily, and I can accept some inconvenience to have software freedom. That is of course a personal choice. Keep in mind that #Purism only earns money when selling the phone. Not by spying on you and profiling you.
@Rhababerbarbar @ph00lt0 @nicorikken @bert_hubert I moved also a bit more to @matrix, because of its decentralized nature and more choice in clients.
#Fractal works pretty well on the #Librem5: https://flathub.org/apps/org.gnome.Fractal
