Blog post by @purism:
https://puri.sm/posts/wired-confirmed-iphones-worst-kept-secret-closed-systems-fail-at-scale/
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.

@archivescribe @DaveMasonDotMe There's the #FLX1s from @furilabs
Also, upcoming projects from @mechasystems, @dawndrums and @Liberux
Of course, there's the #LibertyPhone / #Librem5 from @purism for true #gnuLinux... which I heard is receiving a new modem upgrade this year. That's what I'm currently daily driving with #postmarketOS.

@sashin @graves501 @thejessiekirk All of the degoogled Android projects are riding on Google funded development and cannot survive without it. The only real alternative is #LinuxMobile. Now we have a decent-spec usable device for non-technical users, the #FLX1s from @furilabs at a pretty good price (currently $499).
For tech-savvy users, true Linux devices like the #LibertyPhone or #Librem5 with #PureOS, #Mobian or #postmarketOS (or flashed on a supported Android phone) can also work as a daily driver and replace Android for nearly all important stuff.
-
The next release of the operating system for the #Librem5 is getting closer.
Have a look at this upgrade sneak preview:
https://puri.sm/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/pureosupgrade-1.webm
The Librem 5 or #LibertyPhone by @purism gives you full control over your phone.
You have full software #freedom and #privacy. No #lockin, but #DigitalSovereignty. You can break fully free from #BigTech with these phones. #Purism invested a lot in software for Linux phones together with many others.

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:
-
@kyle Thanks for this nice article!
I've a remark though. You write: "... a company that sold laptops and a phone that shipped with a fully free-software Linux OS, PureOS, based on Debian."
Actually @purism still sells #Linux laptops and phones like the #Librem5 and #LibertyPhone:
-
@henry Btw, the #FLX1s from @furilabs comes with 8GB RAM and a 5-year old processor. It's running #phosh, not Gnome but pretty similar and it's a fork of it.
Even the #LibertyPhone from @purism comes with 4GB RAM and a processor that's technically less than 9 years old since release. It runs #postmarketOS with phosh, gnome or kde plasma pretty well. I'm daily driving a #Librem5 with pmOS phosh and as far as I can see, it's the best supported pmOS device.
-
@mukto_manob @rysiek As someone who's daily driving #postmarketOS (stable phosh) on a #Librem5, I think that mobile Linux is sufficiently advanced for non-developers to use, especially if they are already used to #DesktopLinux.
#FuriLabs devices even come with Android app support enabled out of the box and have higher specs, so I'd expect them to be more normie-friendly.

@privacyguides I think #LinuxMobile is the only real path forward for freedom.
Instead of hoping in #Google, it would be better in the long run if concerned users rallied behind #Linux options (mainline or #Halium-based), and there are quite a few now, existing and upcoming.

@Sxan Based on a recent forum post by @jc, their #LibertyPhone production run should also be complete in December. Actually screen repacement cost is how I came to L5. A previous Pixel 6 Pro device's screen replacement cost was so high that it made more sense to pay $20-50 more and buy a brand new 6A. Now I'm seeing that Librem 5 screen cost 1/8th of the product price and roughly 1/5th of the Pixel 6 Pro screen replacement cost!

@Fat_Farang @fdroidorg From NSA walled garden to CCP walled garden? On #MobileLinux, you don't need to ask your OS or device vendor's permission : )

@ati1 @linmob Depends what the user wants from a personal device, how they use it and what their priorities are. If someone's priorities are a modern camera, running proprietary Android apps and their money is held hostage by banks requiring #Duopoly apps, they should check back later, perhaps when the Librem 5 "Fir" model is released.
On the other hand, if #FreeSoftware, #privacy, #modularity, #repairability, #ecofriendliness, #decentralisation, #digitalindependence, etc. are valued above other things, the Librem 5 and the higher-spec model, the #LibertyPhone, can absolutely work in 2025 and beyond.
I am daily driving a #Librem5 with #postmarketOS and everything important to me works: VoLTE calls and SMS (although I avoid them due to #SaltTyphoon), 4G data, Wi-Fi, camera with OK quality photos (see: #ShotOnLibrem5), GPS with #PureMaps, web browsing with #FirefoxESR, web apps (including banking) using #GNOMEWeb and #BraveBrowser, email using #Geary and #DeltaChat, audio calls on #SignalMessenger, #Matrix ( #ElementMessenger), #XMPP ( #DinoIM), #JitsiMeet, etc.
There are occasional bugs and quirks, and the device itself has limitations but nothing that I can't work around.
Not sure if I missed anything. Let me know if you have a specific use case that you absolutely require and I'll see if I can test...

@hellomiakoda Perhaps consider #Librem5, #LibertyPhone, or #MNTPocketReform with #GOnnect...? All of them should connect to Ethernet but they're ARM devices, not x86-64.

@chocrates @DeathByBigSad If you're already used to Linux desktop, I'd even venture to say that Linux phones are daily drivable for you in this order: #FLX1s from @furilabs, #JollaC2, #LibertyPhone, #Librem5, #Pinephone.
I'm daily driving a #Librem 5 with #postmarketOS and everything critical actually works for my use case.
-
@VildaVedo @okias 4G, VoLTE, SMS... all of those work for me on a #Librem5 running #postmarketOS #phosh. The features-supportede device table (https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Devices#Community) does not really show this (or is even easy to view fully), but I'm sure that the Librem 5 and #LibertyPhone are the best devices for pmOS.
The one and only thing that does not work at all is that it does not record sound in video recordings, unless you use an external webcam.
The L5 modem does not support 5G, but some users in the Purism forums have made a third-party 5G modem work with #PureOS!
-
@joseph @okias Best Linux-ey option right now would be a #Furiphone #FLX1 from @furilabs. Otherwise, if you're hardcore FOSS enthusiast passionate about doing everything the 'right way', the #LibertyPhone from @purism can work for daily use - provided you carry a power bank with you.
-
@jonah Great to see that you touched on the #LinuxMobile option. I'm daily driving #postmarketOS on my #Librem5 and it's good enough to do most of what I need - the only thing does not work is recording sound in videos. Even running #FOSS Android apps using #Fdroid, #Obtainium, etc. on #Waydroid works, although the #LibertyPhone with more RAM and storage is better suited for it.
There's also the #FLX1 (runs #Droidian-based #FuriOS) which comes at a more affordable price, and Android app compatibility set up out of the box. I think that is more 'normie'-friendly and has decent specs overall compared to true Linux phones. Camera quality is as good as Android as it uses Android kernel and drivers.
-
@stooovie Another option would be to just get a Linux phone: #Flx1, #LibertyPhone, or make one: @Liberux !
-
@abhirajbibhar @itsfoss #Librem5 and #LibertyPhone also ship to India @purism right?
-
@abhirajbibhar @itsfoss Yes they can and are. We need to support them by contributing, and also buying from #mobilelinux vendors.

@avoca @Ketakater I also got all of my family and a lot of my wider circle on it using these two strategies:
1. Getting a device that simply does not have #Whatsapp / proprietary messaging apps, i.e.: #Linuxmobile: #Flx1, #LibertyPhone, #Librem5, #Jolla2c, etc. People typically won't care enough about #privacy but they will understand if WA simply does not work on your phone.
2. Kids: They don't have phone numbers (or phones in many cases) but want to be included in family group chats. Once kids got in on it, #DeltaChat spread like wildfire among our extended family, relatives, inlaws and friends. Even a kid with #downsyndrome onboarded their grandpa in seconds while I had earlier struggled to get him on #Signal!
A great thing about Delta Chat is that, unlike #ElementMessenger and other fully-featured #Matrix clients, there's no search and discovery feature so kids do not stumble upon untrusted groups and strangers' profiles.

@simplex I think that statistics for even Linux desktop users are not too reliable as they generally dislike/distrust #telemetry and tracking, so Linux phone user count could be difficult.
If follower count here on the fediverse is anything to go by, the largest #LinuxPhone-related accounts @pine64, @purism, @postmarketOS appear to have around 13-10k followers. If app download count can give as a hint, the Gnome Calls app (originally made by Purism) was downloaded over 50k times from Flathub https://flathub.org/apps/org.gnome.Calls
As for devices, phones sold with Linux preinstalled include the #Librem5, #LibertyPhone, #PinePhone, #PinePhonePro, #Flx1 and #JollaC2.
Some older Android devices repurposed to install Linux include #OnePlus6, #Pixel3a and #Fairphone5.

"At #Purism, we believe privacy is a fundamental right—not a setting buried in your #phone."
"If you’re done with being a passive participant in your own data harvesting, there’s a better way."
"Take back your digital sovereignty. Choose a phone that works for you—not on you."
Choose a @purism phone, a #Librem5 or a #LibertyPhone.

In all fairness, Dell shouldn't even be on the list as their XPS laptops with Linux preloaded isn't #LinuxFirst or even available except in certain countries.

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]
