#librem5 — Public Fediverse posts

I never used USB ethernet #tethering on my #Librem5 before, but now I do, and it works flawless with my #Fedora laptop:

Weekly GNU-like #MobileLinux Update (18/2026): Shift to Convergence

Regarding the price see: https://mastodon.social/@janvlug/116510085888567116

There are no is no monthly fee for the #Librem5 itself. You can use it with the provider of your choice.

You can take a totally optional #PureOS subscription though: https://puri.sm/posts/pureos-optional-subscription-added-to-advance-development/ Such subscription will help funding the advancement of PureOS. Which in the end will also help the #MobileLinux eco system.

I realize that yesterday it was exactly four years ago that I started the experiment to use the #Librem5 #Linux #phone as my daily phone.

I have been using it since then, and the software is being improved regularly and in a very transparent way.

Read here about the beginning of this experiment: https://janvlug.org/blog/one-week-librem-5-field-trial-day-1/

Would you be interested in a blog with an update of the current state of the Librem 5?

Since 2022-05-01. I wrote a blog about this, when I started it as a experiment.

Thanks for asking. I realize now that it was yesterday exactly four years ago.

The software has been improving since then, and it is still improving. The release of the next version of #PureOS for the #Librem5 with the name #Crimson is imminent.

"Where to buy a non-Apple, non-Google smartphone"

I use a #Librem5 #Linux #phone. With the default #PureOS operating system.

Enjoy your #freedom, break free from #Google and #Apple.

Have a full Linux computer in your pocket that you can also use for calling.

Questions? Ask me.

#opensource #digitalsovereignty #FOSS #MobileLinux #privacy

Does anyone know of the general development of #navigation software for #mobile #Linux devices like the #Librem5 ?
#PureMaps somehow runs, but it is not a great experience performance wise and the development is not super active anymore. I saw a discussion once that #OrganicMaps also tries to make a mobile Linux version, but I can't find any update there either. Are there any plans for #GnomeMaps to add navigation features?

RE: https://chaos.social/@grote/116257002625921666

Welp. It's been a fun one Android. Once my phone breaks, I'm done having a phone, until I get a job that pays well so I can buy myself a Linux phone.

I know dumb phones still exist and I don't mind typing with the keypads but I'd rather have no phone than have a dumb phone

When that time comes that my last phone breaks, I will probably be the only Gen Z in the whole world who has no phone.

"#Apple and #Google have agreed to pay a combined $163 million to settle lawsuits accusing their voice assistants of secretly recording users’ private conversations without consent."

Do you want to be customer of a company that listens into your private conversations?

Leave the #duopoly. Buy a #MobileLinux phone.

Personally, I'm using the #Librem5 from @purism.

Screenshot of #SignalDesktop I took last year on #Librem5.

Regarding browsers, the default #FirefoxESR does not need any zooming in, and neither does #GnomeWeb, #Kumo or #AngelFish. On #BraveBrowser, I zoom in 125%.

Btw, being able to use desktop apps on #LinuxMobile is generally considered one of its advantages!

@dos After getting incorrect location throughout the day (due to bad weather?), I finally tried your #aGPS script on #postmarketOS 25.06 (after installing #coreutils), and it appeared to work!

Planning to do more extensive testing in the coming few weeks. Thanks : )

Currently using #PureMaps for navigation mainly and #GnomeMaps occasionally.

Alleen met een #app krijg je in de avond korting in de tram van #HTM.

Waarom krijgt niet gewoon iedereen automatisch korting? Waarom moeilijk doen als het makkelijk kan.

Ik haat het als dingen #complex worden gemaakt die gewoon makkelijk kunnen. Waarom moeten mensen die zich niet willen verdiepen in alle #acties en #bonussen meer betalen? Ik heb wel wat beters te doen.

Bovendien gebruik ik een #Librem5 #Linux-telefoon.

#appdwang #stupidificatie #ov #tram #denhaag #MobileLinux

@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...
