@hanscees I read the review now, and I'm a very similar kind of user as the person that wrote the review. I'm not using #Wayland on my #Librem5. For #Signal I use the desktop version that is installed as a #flatpak. If you can accept some inconvenience to have more #freedom and #privacy, the Librem 5 is an excellent choice. Indeed, there are stil some rough edges, but the software keeps improving and work towards a new release of #PureOS is progressing. For me the Librem 5 is an excellent phone.
We have setup our first bounty as part of #dephcom (we started as #debphoshfund but Open Source Collective suggested a name change and community picked the new name via a poll).

If you have a Librem 5 and you'd like more choice with Operating System, especially newer versions of software than currently being shipped in PureOS #byzantium or even upcoming #crimson please support.

This post is the beginning of a thread of previous monthly #PureOS development reports:

I enjoyed reading all of them. It is great that the development can be followed in such a transparant way.

The above linked article explains the current status of the #PureOS development. It starts with the foundation and infrastructure. It describes how packages are synchronized from #Debian, how some packages are improved (for #MobileLinux), and it describes newly identified issues.
The work on upgrading the operating system for the #Librem5 Linux phone is progressing well.
The work on this is funded by #Purism and people that have totally optional PureOS subscriptions.
The name of the official Purism #Linux distribution for the Librem5 is #PureOS.
The current version is #Byzantium, the next version will be #Crimson.
Taking an PureOS subscription helps funding.
There is huge progress lately, read the progress report for March 2025 here:

Sinon pour un téléphone avec Linux préinstallé il y a Librem 5 de Purism, avec #PureOS (basé sur #Debian) / Jolla C2 avec #SailfishOS / Volla Phone avec #VollaOS (Android) ou #Ubuntu au choix
Sur smartphone je n'ai testé qu'Ubuntu.
Dear @Mer__edith and the the amazing @signalapp team,
After the last update, the Signal "desktop app" is requiring us to launch the mobile app - however, many of us do not have the Android or any other "mobile" version of the Signal app any more.
We are a large (by our standards) group of #Linux phone users, and your "desktop" app is our "mobile" app : )
Our previous phones on which #SignalApp was initially activated was an Android or Apple device and we have since then completely migrated to #Linuxphones. Some of us may have registered Signal on #signalcli, Flare, #Molly, Signal Android in #WayDroid, etc.
The #mobileLinux community is growing - we have members spanning a good number of projects and devices, e.g.
- @purism #Librem5 and #LibertyPhone running #Debian-based #PureOS #GnuLinux, #Alpine-based #PostmarketOS or #Mobian,
- @PINE64 #Pinephone and PP Pro running #ManjaroARM, #SailfishOS, etc.
- @furilabs #FLX1 running #Droidian-based #FuriOS,
- a wide variety of Android phones (including OnePlus 6, Google Pixel 3, #Fairphone 4 & 5) running #Alpine-based @postmarketOS ,
- @volla , #Fxtec and #Brax3 devices running #UbuntuTouch by @ubports,
- devices running @mobian which is part of #Debian project, etc.
[Apologies to any project I may have failed to include - you are all appreciated]
