The is very interesting, but it’s not available in any meaningful sense in the US, one of the most lucrative markets—if not the largest market—in the world.

With Google’s recent announcement that they will no longer be providing device trees for Pixel phones, my plan to switch from my now 4.5 year old 2020 iPhone SE2 to a Pixel running @GrapheneOS might be in some doubt. We need alternatives to Apple, Google, and Samsung that aren’t entirely controlled by the CCP/PRC.

@GrapheneOS You clearly have memory issues since you have forgotten the past 2 threads you responded to me in, and where we went through this. Surely I made a mistake in recommending that @gcvsa pursue a device that can run your OS.

What @gcvsa asked for was alternatives to Apple, Google, and Samsung that aren’t entirely controlled by the CCP/PRC. Which describes very well.

Read the April Crimson development report by .

Crimson will be the next version of PureOS, the operating system for Purism devices like the freedom respecting Librem 5.

There have been several kernel improvements for the phone.

Work on packaging continues.

Thanks to all who made this possible, by their work on this, by their subscriptions, or otherwise!

🇺🇸 How a $2,000 'Made in the USA' Phone Is Manufactured

「 It’s the Liberty Phone, which is made by a company called Purism. The phone is a version of Purism’s Librem 5. The Made-in-China Librem 5 costs $800, and the Liberty phone costs $2,000. It has 4 GB of memory, and reviewers say that its specs are pretty outdated 」

Looking for a new laptop that runs Linux out of the box? Get a ThinkPad!

Lenovo has been offering ThinkPads with Fedora and @ubuntu preinstalled for a few years now. The more people who shop for these devices, the more attention they can give to this business!

Here's an article of someone discovering Lenovo's Linux program: https://news.itsfoss.com/lenovo-cuts-windows-tax/

They are not as mainstream, but they only make linux computers and should be supported.
