@soothsayer This will be a great way to experience a full Linux system, the phone experience is built for everyone and it will be much simpler and easier to find your way around than on any Android phone. It also is a complete computer, plug it into a monitor, keyboard and mouse and you can edit spreadsheets, do your work, play games and more using desktop Linux apps on your phone :) Hope that helps!

@wnymathguy @alex 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.

@alex @purism 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.
