#librem-5 — Public Fediverse posts

@fisherdude @craftyguy @dino doesnt run in the background if you close it afaik although #xmpp audio calls work on my #Librem5 - you can just keep it open and resource usage wasnt too much, nowwhere like Signal Desktop for comparison. Even video calls worked but I think pmOS was using pipewire by default then.

phosh 0.57.0 is out 🚀📱:

There's new features, 🐛 fixes and initial hardware support in BengalOS.

Check out the full release notes at https://phosh.mobi/releases/rel-0.57.0/ for details or see 👇 for a short 🧵

🙏 to everyone who contributed to this release.

@stepan @kayla This is how the #Bitwarden flatpak UI appears on the #phosh shipped in #PureOS with default settings (scale down apps is not enabled).

#Librem5

@dos Wow, this is very, very cool! I can't wait to test #Dawn on one of my #Librem5's. Thank you for all your great work! And of course also all others who contribute to #MobileLinux.

#Linux #phone

Kernel 6.18 available for testing in #PureOS.

It is already running on my #Librem5, and all good until now.

See: https://forums.puri.sm/t/kernel-6-18-available-for-testing/31104

"Once 6.18 becomes the default, the soon-to-be-released-upstream 7.2 kernel will be made available as well..."

Thanks to all who worked on this, or provides support in any other way, like donating via the PureOS subscriptions!

I will try on my test #Librem5 soon.

@blackbrook @bjoern_tantau VLC > Tools > Customise interface lets me make it look like this - which is very usable. Using the flatpak version on #Librem5 running PureOS Crimson. Also tested previously on postmarketOS on another L5.

Nice to read this: "The Librem 5 kernel was upgraded from 6.6 to 6.12 in !8959, importing fixes from upstream so that freezes on wakeup from suspend (#4207) no longer happen. Thanks Daniel K., dos and people who tested and helped finishing this up!"

I'm going to give postmarketOS a try on one of my Librem 5's!

As far as I know no ETA can be given for Dawn at the moment. Work towards Dawn is in progress for sure though.

You can read the monthly #PureOS updates here: https://puri.sm/posts/tag/advanced-readers/

"dawn may likely release relatively shortly after crimson, since most of the packaging technical debt will have been worked through"

#Librem5

@gnome @haeckerfelix And also very usable on #Linux phones. I use Shortwave daily on my #Librem5. Many thanks indeed!

The blog reports the development for PureOS in June 2026.

"With the development pipeline in full swing, we’re updating some of the cornerstone components of PureOS for #Dawn. Phosh and phoc are both updated to 0.55.0, the latest Phosh release in June..."

@ovb69 Ik wil niet afhankelijk zijn van hyperkapitalistische bigtech bedrijven die je profileren, je data verkopen en je privacy schenden. Ik wil dus ook geen apps uit hun app-stores. Ook wil ik Apple en Google niet ondersteunen door gebruik te maken van hun diensten.

Lees meer over #appdwang hier:
https://appdwang.nl/

Bij voorkeur gebruik ik alleen vrije opensource software. Ik gebruik Linux. Fedora op "gewone" computers. PureOS op mijn #Librem5 telefoon.

@drsJekyll @pimjoosten @jrf_nl @zandbelt @teacher_rick @Piloot @barbarakathmann

Mijn overwegingen om tegen #appdwang te zijn is dat ik geen apps wil van hyperkapitalistisch, #privacy-scnendend, #surveillance bigtech (dus Apple en Google).

Ik heb zelf een #Librem5 #Linux #smartphone.

Ik ben ook zeer digikundig. Juist dat is de reden dat ik geen apps van bigtech wil.

Ik wil software gebruiken die te controleren is en die mij niet afhankelijk maakt. #opensource en #FOSS dus.

@FediFollows Please also add @furilabs it's the most usable option for nontechy people right now.

@mechasystems also has the Comet which would be a #Linuxphone with their LTE module.

@dawndrums and @Liberux are also upcoming projects great to follow - the former has already showcased a working early prototype on their YT channel.

And also @purism who have 2 phones and initially put in so much work in developing phosh, chatty (GNOME Chats) and the phone Calls app as well as underlying stuff to make desktop apps responsive. I'm daily driving a #Librem5 btw and quite comfortably too coming from a #degoogled Android ecosystem.

@alienghic @rockario

Personally, I do not use any Android apps on the #Librem5. However, you could run certain Android apps with #Waydroid, which is available in the #PureOS repository:

https://docs.puri.sm/Software/PureOS/cfg/android/waydroid.html

For calls and messages the Librem 5 is reliable for me, and they wake the phone up, also from suspend.

#MobileLinux #FOSS #opensource #Linux #phone

@alienghic @rockario

I use the #Librem5 as my daily phone. I use the 3.5 mm jack nearly daily to listen to podcasts and internet radio.

I really like that the Librem 5 is a full Linux handheld device where I can use all Linux commands, and have full freedom.

No AI by default on the Librem 5, no ads, focus on #privacy and #security. It also has three hardware kill switches to disable mic, camera, wifi and bluetooth, and mobile data.

I'm not sure if you can donate to GNOME and KDE's mobile efforts specifically. Similarly, there doesn't appear to be a way to donate towards the #Librephone project specifically instead of the whole @fsf in general.

I love the @mechasystems project but not sure if that tiny-screen device can ever be a smartphone replacement unless they offer a taller screen variant...

@Oleksii I'm living in the Netherlands and went to Serbia recently, with my #Librem5 running #PureOS, also there mobile data works out of the box.
