Read the latest #PureOS Crimson development update by @purism:

Only three issues left until installable alpha images for the upgraded operating system for your #Librem5.
The Librem 5 is a #Linux phone that gives freedom to the user. Freedom as in #FOSS.
This development is also supported by the totally optional PureOS subscriptions.
Thanks to all who worked or paid to make this progress possible.
Always great to read this technical reports!
#SIP ist Voodoo! Mein Versuch, die Hardware-Telefone inklusive oller #FritzBox loszuwerden, ist ein steiniger Weg.
#linphone unter #Android war noch halbwegs einfach und ist seit einer Woche im stabilen Testbetrieb.
Graue Haare macht(e) mir #GnomeCalls unter #Fedora. Da ging tagelang gar nichts, bis ich irgendwann auf den Gedanken gekommen bin, es mal auf dem #librem5 zu probieren. Da taten exakt die selben Parameter sofort.
Jetzt geht es auch mit Fedora, aber ich hab nix ausprobiert, was ich zuvor nicht schon x-mal vergeblich getestet hatte. Dafür geht es gerade auf dem librem5 nicht mehr. Kein Schimmer, was da los ist.

mijn telefoon.
Ik gebruik ook geen XMPP, maar wel Matrix (Fractal werkt goed op de #Librem5)

Het is ook cool dat de software nog steeds onderhouden wordt. Een upgrade van het hele besturingssysteem (#PureOS) is in de maak. De huidige versie heet Byzantium, de aankomende #Crimson.

Als je enige affiniteit hebt met de waarden van #Purism (#FOSS), dan zou ik de Librem 5 zeker eens proberen.
3/3
@triskelion @purism I appreciate what GrapheneOS and other projects are doing. I wish gOS good luck in:
- getting early access to future #AOSP sources as development is no longer public.
- fixing the myriad of #Google shenanigans with the OS and Chromium.
- getting mental health help for the main developer - he deserves all the help he can get.
Unlike gOS, #Linuxphone development is not riding on decades of Google funded development of the OS. Progress is therefore slower but it is improving gradually.
Besides #PureOS, there is also #Mobian and #postmarketOS - I especially look forward to the latter's future #ImmutableOS version which would have security benefits as well.
@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.
