The advantage of using a Librem 5 with a convergent OS like PureOS, is once you dock it, all the adaptive apps become the same full-sized Linux desktop apps you would see on a Librem 14 laptop. All of the apps that haven’t yet been updated to fit on the phone well, work well too. Learn more about convergence in action: https://puri.sm/posts/my-first-year-of-librem-5-convergence/
Don’t be stuck wanting an app, information or entertainment; prepare now, and you’ll have your own software oasis no matter what happens to the broader internet.

Q3 2019 must finally be upon us, because my #Librem5 showed up in the mail yesterday!
Four and a half year wait aside, though, I've already been using #phosh on various iterations of #PinePhone for the last couple of years and I'm glad to finally get my hands on some @purism hardware too.
We purposefully went about creating both software and hardware that was ethically-built, safe, and secure. We want to create “goods” for the society and be an important example of collaborative capitalism in action. For Purism, security is not an after-thought, it is the starting point of thinking about design https://puri.sm/posts/purism-digital-security/

What's your shield? We often get asked what our strongest security recommendations would be for someone ordering a Librem 14. These recommendations include selecting our anti-interdiction services so you get a fully-configured PureBoot plus additional tamper-detection measures, pre-installing the high security QubesOS, which runs very well on the Librem 14, and adding root tamper detection to PureBoot, along with other options. Assess what makes sense for you ➡️ https://puri.sm/posts/shields-up-flexible-security-for-changing-threats/
Whether you face serious threats or just want peace of mind, PureBoot lets you detect tampering starting from your boot firmware down into the OS itself.
The PureBoot bundle is comprised of the BIOS, Librem Key, and USB vault. Here is how Librem 14 with Pureboot can secure your digital life💻 https://puri.sm/posts/pureboot-101-first-boot-first-update-and-detecting-software-tampering/
A complete guide on what to expect when you first receive your PureBoot bundle, how to handle updates, and what it looks like to detect tampering. Read here ➡️
