Linux G. Fossman

@Auli @jcs I’m daily driving a #Librem5 with #postmarketOS and everything really important works for my use case, including legacy unencrypted phone calls (VoLTE), SMS messages, 4G data, Wi-Fi, web browsing, email, #e2ee comms with #SignalApp, #DeltaChat, #Matrix, #XMPP, latest apps from #Flathub, etc.

Even running many Android apps with #Fdroid and #Obtainium work via #Waydroid although I tested that on #PureOS, not #postmarketOS.

Sure it’s nowhere as fast as mainstream Android phones and has only basic camera support, but then those aren’t my priorities when looking at #freedomtech.

@TrickDacy @DrDystopia Try #FLX1s from @furilabs

@chocrates @DeathByBigSad If you’re already used to Linux desktop, I’d even venture to say that Linux phones are daily drivable for you in this order: #FLX1s from @furilabs, #JollaC2, #LibertyPhone, #Librem5, #Pinephone.

I’m daily driving a #Librem 5 with #postmarketOS and everything critical actually works for my use case.

@Ilovethebomb @Fizz Depends on your circle but in my experience, these are the same people who completely locked into WhatsApp, Facebook, Gmail, etc and only use SMS/calls when you don’t answer their WA messages : )

@Fizz @oxysis Agreed, after #SaltTyphoon, no one should be using legacy unencrypted calls and SMS for personal communication. A data-only SIM with instant messaging apps for calls and messages can work in 2025.

@drew_belloc @noodlejetski I don’t have a dock either. I do have a favourites row though, and currently these are the pinned apps (arranged in no particular order):

1. Calls by #GNOME & #Purism

2. Chats (#Chatty) by Purism & GNOME - supports #SMS, #Matrix, #XMPP

3. Contacts by GNOME

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.

@ocean So thankful my brain is #FOSS ; )

@ocean https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.mhss.app.mybrain/

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

@normplum @ISOmorph @Powderhorn Thanks, will give it a try and see if it can replace noScript.

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