I wonder what the loader is in it
Something like CoreBoot or U-Boot, but promise to support the installation of other Linux dystrov, only there may not be firewood. And in the 3 main OS will be firewood. Plasma Mobile, Ubuntu Touch and Pureos

It will be the first smartphone of the company. Much may not be across during the release. Promise to finish at the update tools. Smartphone is focused on free software, iron and safety. It is clear that the free alternatives are more expensive and less powerful, less choice, but you have to live with what is. About the nexus and other smartphones in the large part there are placed by enthusiasts and therefore from the work of these OS costs to expect the best. I personally would have taken, but a price tag of $ 600 and AWP Architecture. Perhaps in the future, when iron will be more powerful or lower price. Also on AWP or something on MIPS, RISC-V, then you can take.

Any GNU / Linux distribution, it is, of course, is cool, but are there any more detailed characteristics of the smartphone? For example SOC, camera, etc.



Rep: (110)
* illialoo99 Well, so there are these characteristics. True, we still have not decided yet, but the changes will not be strong.

About Purism is known more: in four years its existence she releasedSeveral laptops running on a specially created free Pureos and give the user the ability to physically disconnect everything that is fraught with a surveillance.
At the same time, the company's engineers climbed into such depths and debursion of computer gland, where no one except the Intel processor created.
It was Purism who managed to turn off the Intel Me mechanism in his laptops, something like an unemployed User of the Black Box. It was considered impossible, but they did. Such an approach is complete user control over the thing belonging to it and no secret bookmarks, probes, ears and eyes - was based on the Librem 5 smartphone.

... the loader is unlocking to put the firmware you need, for example Lineage OS, Kali Nethunter, SuperSU, etc.
This allows you to manage network adapters, for example for sniffing a wireless network, set macros, delete system trash in the form of 5-6 applications from Google that I do not need, change system files, rebuild the file system to change, for example, the same swap partition.
... Purism did not release a single laptop, it's just your assembly on the ready chassis from Clevo. And what is the security? Their laptops are also like System76 (which by the way also on the Clevo chassis) are no different from any other.
... Pureos-woeful Bolgenos, and security in Linux is Redhat and knowledge of system administration, and not a coupon of smoothies from San Francisco and schoolchildren-Kulkhazkers who will donate money saved on school dinms.
... Blocked Intel Management Engine around which was so much noise, physical switches for some modules - Well, this is already a Ponte of course, what is the bad same tape?

In fact, I am not very worried about security and personal data. I'm more interested in a full-fledged Linux on a smartphone in this case on Arme. Although it is necessary to wait anywhere else and you can see smartphones on the RISC-V and then the lin will put it easy.

The main thing is that they do not have fallen into their safety so much that the wloader will block and do not allow full access to the device.
Just in the network there is info about another smartphone on Linux, which is positioned as an opensor and now while watching both.

I spoke about him, just did not want to explicitly offtop. But on the sabget RAM 3 gig, and offtopa - 2.
If you use ZRAM, then you can plow about the 4th and 7 gigs of the submitter (ideally). For me it can be critical.
