@okias I totally agree. That is the reason I have a totally optional #PureOS subscription for my #Librem5:

@Marloezovic Ik maak helemaal geen gebruik een Android of iOS gebaseerd operating systeem op mijn telefoon. Ik gebruik #PureOS op mijn #Librem5 Linux telefoon van @purism.

Ik kan zelf geen bedragen van meer dan €5000 overschrijven. Ik ben ook met een vriend op bezoek geweest bij toen nog Volksbank om het hier met hun filosoof over te hebben.

Ik wil persoonlijk helemaal digitaal soeverein zijn. Dat beschouw ik als mijn plicht als IT- en FOSS-expert. Zo weet dat het kan, en waar het soms knelt.

Yes, indeed, I use #PureOS, so basically pure #Linux. For me it is a fundamental principle that I do not want to make use of technology that is only available from software repositories from unethical companies like Apple and Google.

If I could do all via the browser that would be totally acceptable for me.

I am with #ASNBank, I go on a regular basis to their "ASN-winkel" to do certain bank transfers that cannot be done via internet.

But eOS is a variant of Android, right? Just like LineageOS or GrapheneOS?

@janvlug and myself don't run Android, but #mobileLinux, i.e. #pureOS and #mobian resp., which is similar to Linux on a PC, and not compatible with Android.

If banks in DE would start to require Android or iOS, I would probably try to get the cheapest, used Android phone on the fleemarket and use it only for that purpose. But so far, it's not necessary.

Dans le même genre, la dernière image de #pureos date de 2023 🤔

@BuyFromEU I think that the operating system of a phone is more important then where the phone hardware has been manufactured.

Therefore I went for a phone that runs #mobilelinux, independent from #bigtech that is often under US #jurisdiction.

Free and #opensource software gives real freedom to the user.

#PureOS is for example an @fsf endorsed GNU/Linux distribution.

Weekly GNU-like Mobile Linux Update (04/2026): Hardware in the Loop

Enjoy!

I tested my #Librem 5 running #Crimson #PureOS the last days with #PureMaps turn by turn navigation in the car.

Note that due to a bug (for which a fix is in the pipeline) I had to enable manually gnss-share first:

sudo systemctl status gnss-share.service

After that PureMaps worked flawlessly for navigation up to speeds of 130 km/h.

Unfortunately, the voice instruction volume is a little to low for me though.

@SuperDicq #PureOS Crimson uses @beacondb. Btw, I was under the impression that MLS had to shut down due to some patent troll's legal threats or something...

The #PureOS #Crimson development report for December 2025 has been published.

https://puri.sm/posts/pureos-crimson-development-report-december-2025/

It describes the work done for the next release of this #Linux distribution that is the default on the #Librem5 and #LibertyPhone made by @purism.

It is great to see the progress. Personally, I'm already running PureOS Crimson pre beta on may daily phone, the Librem 5.

Development can be supported by totally optional subscriptions:
