@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 on my . For I use the desktop version that is installed as a . If you can accept some inconvenience to have more and , 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 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.

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 development. It starts with the foundation and infrastructure. It describes how packages are synchronized from , how some packages are improved (for ), and it describes newly identified issues.

Drawing of a firm concrete looking Foundation with on top of it five layers of bricks. The top two layers of bricks represent new issues identified.
The first layer represents packages synchronized from Debian.
The second and third layer represent improved packages.

Em matéria de distribuição de :gnu: GNU/Linux, :debian: #Debian 🫶 é o que há, contudo ainda podemos ir um pouco além se nos preocuparmos com a manutenção da liberdade de software: especialmente se for usar máquinas virtuais, é praticamente certo que nem precisará do Linux, o kernel, padrão. Se quiser, poderá testar distribuições de software totalmente livres como #PureOS — baseada em Debian — ou, ainda com Debian padrão, poderá dispensar repositórios como contrib e non-free-firmware além de ainda facilmente instalar o Linux-libre :freedo:, kernel limpo das partes não livres! 😎

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]
