Librem 5: a security and privacy focused GNU/Linux smartphone Librem 5: a security and privacy focused GNU/Linux smartphonePurism, maker of Linux laptops with Coreboot, have started started a crowdfunding campaign for their smartphone. Now, I rarely – if ever – link to crowdfunding campaigns (for obvious reasons), but I feel this one might just be quite, quite desirable for many OSNews readers.
Librem 5, the phone that focuses on security by design and privacy protection by default. Running Free/Libre and Open Source software and a GNU+Linux Operating System designed to create an open development utopia, rather than the walled gardens from all other phone providers.
A fully standards-based freedom-oriented system, based on Debian and many other upstream projects, has never been done before – we will be the first to seriously attempt this.
The Librem 5 phone will be the world’s first ever IP-native mobile handset, using end-to-end encrypted decentralized communication.
It’ll have hardware killswitches for the camera, microphone, WiFi, and the baseband. I wish the team a lot of luck – they’ll need it, because making a phone is hard.
