@inderix 4G works well, but I have issues with SMS when I use 4G.

PureOS on the #Librem5 has for me the best user experience, because I am fully in control, and it is just a Linux device. I'm very used to the power that Linux gives their users.

But #PureOS is not as smooth as Android or IOS. Many things take some more effort. I accept some inconvenience to really own and control my device. The great thing is that PureOS gets better and better.

@inderix

I want to support #Purism as a social purpose corporation by buying their #phone. Purism earns money on selling hardware. Although you can also take a totally optional subscription to support the development of the #PureOS operating system.

With phones from Android companies that run PmOS, you are less supporting the #MobileLinux eco system imo.

Purism initiated e.g. #phosh.

I'm not really using convergence, as I have other computers.

@inderix I use a #Librem5 as my daily phone for over three years.

The Librem 5 is not bloated with proprietary software.

Also note, that #Purism only at the selling time earns on you. They do not build profiles of their customers to sell.

The operating system, #PureOS, for the Librem 5 is maintained, and an upgrade is in the works.

See here how I started using the Librem 5 as an experiment:

Yes, there is some inconvenience, but I accept that for my #freedom.

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

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

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)

https://flathub.org/apps/org.gnome.Fractal

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.

Hier kun je de ontwikkelingen volgen:

Als je enige affiniteit hebt met de waarden van #Purism (#FOSS), dan zou ik de Librem 5 zeker eens proberen.
