"The Librem 5 is unlike anything else on the market. Not only is it one of the only smartphones on Earth that doesn't ship with Android, a fork of Android, or iOS—Purism's commitment to 100% open software, with no binary blobs..." https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2019/09/purisms-librem-5-phone-starts-shipping-a-fully-open-gnulinux-phone/ #linux #opensource #librem5 #smartphone #pureos #gnome

"The OS is the Free Software Foundation endorsed by PureOS, a Linux distribution that, in this case, has been reworked with a mobile UI. Purism says it will provide updates for the "lifetime" of the device, which would be a stark contrast to the two years of updates you get with an Android phone."

"Selling a smartphone is a cutthroat business, and we've seen dozens of companies try and fail over the years. Purism didn't just survive long enough to ship a product—it survived in what is probably the hardest way possible, by building a non-Android phone with demands that all the hardware components use open code. Making it this far is an amazing accomplishment."

There's actually over 85Million smartphones out there running KaiOS, too, but I'm all for the success of PureOS. https://techcrunch.com/2019/02/25/kaios-now-with-85m-feature-phones-shipped-doubles-down-with-google-carrier-deals-and-more/

I need a signal and riot.im (matrix) client, then I am ready to buy one of the later batches! I am rooting for you!

One of their base services (separate from the hardware), is Librem Chat via Puri.sm. That is a fork of the Matrix capable Riot client. That's in their free package along with Librem Social; Mastodon. It's available to people no matter what hardware you have. Their eMail and VPN are a subscription-based service for what seems like fairly obvious reasons.

the Librem One team are working on a Librem Chat client for the Librem 5. There is also Fractal from GNOME which scales well on a mobile UI.

Does the Librem Chat client also work with accounts on other matrix servers like matrix.org?

Hard to say. I haven't toyed much with Matrix & Riot yet. My first experience was the Librem fork of Riot for Android. Their's an active forum that you can search for those conversations:
https://forums.puri.sm/

I recall people on Librem Chat in one of the rooms discussing how to make some linking work between the regular Matrix servers and the Purism type ones. I didn't pay much attention to that yet though, so all I can say was I recall people saying they couldn't and others saying they did.

They are building it towards the "Convergence" model so I think it should easily connect to a USB or Bluetooth keyboard.
