Yes. Buying a phone from @purism makes also some money to flow towards the #MobileLinux ecosystem and software development.

The #Librem5 phone improved software wise a lot over the years. I use it as my daily phone for nearly four years.

@eve VoLTE is working on #Librem5 with #PureOS and #postmarketOS, so I'd expect newer devices to work as well.

Btw, a new global modem upgrade option for the L5 is also apparently coming this year.

Switch to a free and #opensource (#FOSS) #Linux phone of a company that put freedom to the user first.

"If you want a device that respects your autonomy, protects your data, and refuses to participate in the surveillance-by-design economy, Purism is the path forward."

Not as smooth as current Android (Google) or Apple phones, but full freedom to the user. I can accept some inconvenience to gain this control.

Wired Confirmed iPhone’s Worst-Kept Secret: Closed Systems Fail at Scale – Purism

Purism makes premium phones, laptops, mini PCs and servers running free software on PureOS. Purism products respect people's privacy and freedom while protecting their security.

The #Librem5 has properly detected chargers using BC1.2, Type-C and PD signaling for years now, but it struggled with sources that couldn't actually provide the advertised current (which could happen with buggy chargers/docks, broken or poorly made cables etc.). It would attempt to draw power, drop below voltage threshold, disconnect, and then do it all again once the voltage went back up to a good level in an endless loop. Good news: this behavior is about to be gone 😁 #mobilelinux #linuxmobile

Slowly transitioning as I still got time. I have been using Ampache to listen to music with #Librem5. It actually works quite well with just the browser

NXP has published their 6.18-based kernel tree and while browsing it I have noticed that they apparently found a way to support custom horizontal strides with mxsfb (by using some undocumented leftover IP for EPDC panels that imx8mq doesn't support). This may be interesting as it potentially opens a way to use linear PE in #etnaviv with the #Librem5's internal screen, so the GPU could render directly to the scanout surface without having to resolve its tiled buffer to linear afterwards. #imx8mq

Still need to see if I can sync my caldav calendar and contacts on the #Librem5. I can connect with google, but that kind of defeats the purpose lol

Testing on #Librem5 this weekend again.
Trying to listen to music via bluetooth. Had some issues. The sound would sometimes stutter, but after closing the bluetooth settings, it works great.

Per @dos decided to give my #mobilelinux #fitness app a test on the #Librem5 and it wasnt bad! Flatpaked my app and tested with the lastest Crimson build. Had some small performance issues within the settings section and my music cut out a bit while it was scanning for my Bike Trainer and my HR Strap but after that it was smooth sailing.

Wanted to grab a battery life comparison so only did 30 mins with only gapless for audio and my fitness app. 12%/30mins so 24%/hour estimated.
