#salttyphoon — Public Fediverse posts

@Satiah I'm also daily driving a #Librem5 with most important think working for my use case: Volte calls and SMS (although I avoid both since #SaltTyphoon), 4G data, Wi-Fi, web browsing on Firefox, email, e2ee messaging and calls using #SignalApp, #DinoIM (XMPP), latest apps from Flathub, and of course the headphone jack!

#PureOS offers a solid, stable experience but in case you want to try something else, #postmarketOS (with phosh, KDE Plasma, Gnome, SXMO) and #Mobian also work on the Librem 5.

@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...
