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.

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my linux-phone-as-daily-driver-journey took me from 2years of #librem5 (everything functions, but way to slow & outdated software) to 1year of #op6t (perfect phone - except that calling is not reliable:D) to some months of the #pixel3a now.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?

@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.

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:

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.
