@Mynameisallen @potatoguy VoLTE is supported on the #Librem5 with #postmarketOS - I'm daily driving one. Old units will need modem firmware upgrade plus enabling #VoLTE manually.

@DarkAri The #Librem5 does work in the US with T-Mobile, various smaller carriers and @purism 's AweSIM.

@DarkAri @warmaster Agreed. @henry Linux phones are the only long-term freedom and privacy respecting solution. Check out the #Furiphone #FLX1s from @furilabs

I'm daily driving a #Librem5 with #postmarketOS and most important things work OK despite the modest specs. I especially appreciate the removable user-replaceable battery and general modularity. However, the feature I use most (more than calls and messages even) is... the #HeadphoneJack!

@turbowafflz @Sunshine Furiphone FLX1s from @furilabs runs an open source OS and has very decent specs.

@oxysis @Catoblepas Do you have any direct experience with a #Linuxphone that does not in-fact have calling capability and was not the result of a carrier-block?

I'm daily driving a #Librem5 with #postmarketOS and calling does work on it - tested in two countries.

I don't use legacy unencrypted calls and SMS anymore, as a data plan with #SignalApp, #DeltaChat and #Matrix meets my needs.

#FLX1s is even more normie-friendly: can make calls, and has Flathub + Android app compatibility set up out of the box.

@SanctimoniousApe @cm0002 I need a head phone jack too, but I guess using a USB-C to 3.5 mm Headphone Jack Adapter is way cheaper and simpler than engineering a brand new Linux phone that caters exactly to everyone's preferences : )

  4. #Firefox web browser by #Mozilla

  5. #SignalMessenger

  6. GNOME Settings

  7. #Phosh Mobile Settings

  8. Tweaks by #postmarketOS

  9. #Tuba (client for #Mastodon / #Fediverse)

  10. #Kasts by #KDE

  11. #DeltaChat ( #openstandards-based, #securityaudited, fast #e2ee chats over bloody #email!)

  12. Files / #Nautilus by GNOME

All #FreeSoftware /Libre, #OpenSource #FOSS / #FLOSS : )

Note: The home screen and the app drawer / search / overview is all one and the same.

The image shows a Librem 5 Linux smartphone home screen with a dark background featuring a starry space theme. At the top, there is a status bar displaying the time as 2:39 PM, 4G connectivity, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth turned off, and a battery level of 84%. Below the status bar, there is a search bar with the text "Search apps..." in gray. The home screen is organised into a grid of app icons. The 1st row includes a green phone icon, a green messaging icon, a blue book icon with "@" symbol, and a Firefox browser icon. The 2nd row features a blue Signal Messenger icon, a gear settings icon, a smartphone icon with toggle switches, The 3rd row features a tuba musical instrument icon, a radio tower broadcast icon, a chat bubble icon with a "d" which looks like and upside down and inverted "g" (opposite of #Google?), and a blue file drawer icon. The 4th row includes an audio player icon, a timing lock icon, a lion face Brave browser icon, and a calculator icon. The 5th row shows a calendar icon, a camera icon, a camera under construction icon, and a carburetor icon. The 6th row includes a clocks icon, a terminal icon, a headphones over book (audiobook) icon, and a dinosaur icon. The 7th row features a pie chart icon, a wrench over hard disk icon, a document with eyeglasses icon, and a green circular icon with a white swirl. Provided by @altbot, edited. Missed by altbot: The bottom of the starry space-themed wallpaper shows the top of a Mars-like sandy planet.

@ocean So thankful my brain is #FOSS ; )

@ocean I have used my brain for that on occassion. Definitely recommended.

@ISOmorph @Powderhorn Please explain how, when #uBlockOrigin works based on blocklisting while #noScript uses allowlisting?
