I'm one of the backers. I pre-ordered the phone and the dev-kit. I think what they are doing is truly amazing and important. They have created good hardware, cooperate with the FSF and the OSS Comunity in every way possible, and do their best to keep their products as libre as they can.
But most importantly, they are creating a real linux phone! I've seen the other so called linux phones. I've had an Ubuntu Phone. I was really hyped up when I got the Ubuntu one, but I was really letdown by them soon. It used regular Android drivers, their Mir supported gralloc, but X nor Wayland did. It wasn't possible to install another distro. It wasn't even possible to use apt, because they choose to (OTA) update the phones with tar archives!!! It's the same with other linux phones. They don't build their own phones, they use gralloc, and they can't run other distros. But the purism librem 5 will be different. I believe this will finally be the phone I was waiting for. One, where I can install my distribution of choice, devuan. One, where I am in control what's installed on it and what it does. One, which I will even be able to completely replace my PC with. This is something no one else could or wanted give me. Purism is yet another step in the right direction. With all the things that go wrong in this world, I will do everything I can to make things better. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQFIBAEBCAAyFiEEZT8xKpcJ1eXNKSM1cASjafdLVoEFAlqkeHYUHG1lQGRhbmll bGFicmVjaHQuY2gACgkQcASjafdLVoFXlQgAlaAWnGVu/G98Nx8k2tHk0HnCwsAF XSDUe6BW/5bs+YKcQTGE5JGAp8AOnxpdtJZ9Kmo8ZOzXsi0CLkM6FtghDnyRkXBQ YklxNJfuRgl/VKTdBYmQ/D9DW88+jD3nxZEAzrCUgYFzaU/Y7A1XO2ogLPzsKL3b 9LX0YJbCTGNROidTusdF9sNzM4ApMYukPdSypD9qgBn5ZplWJ3hhI4EO7iOZPE/d HHFgPpKlZ6jeMeSo+f6kEXLNd1bUrxLQDbfyMuKu+QOJGqHgyjc/MK59WuQ3W5fA vmRgaZXr2VUPXXNzI4IrSGFIPhl5S7Si5ExMk0GNWb+O7X9UPj8cjvtlCw== =Zxu2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
