How the latest Purism commercial was made with entirely with GNU/Linux, Free Software, and Librem laptops.
Storyboarding, motion design, color grading, video editing... We do it all with Freedom in mind.
Want a 15" laptop that ships with Linux and has hardware kill switches?
Want it with a German keyboard layout? Tired of paying VAT?
For a limited time we're discounting the Librem 15 (DE Keyboard) by 19%. Also shipping is free.

Did you know that with the Librem 5 smartphone you can remove the back and have access to :
- the battery
- a removable OpenPGP smart card
- a removable cellular modem
- and a microSD card so you can expand your storage later on

Today we answer the age old question...
What boots faster:
- a Librem 5 smartphone running PureOS (GNU/Linux)
- or a run of the mill Android phone

Personal #1 post @ Librem One!
...and for Mastodon in general :)
Great to see all of this progress that @purism has been introducing lately. Can't wait to get my hands on the mighty Librem 5.

Here’s something of a love letter to Linux in general, @purism in specific, and a handful of great programs as well: https://www.linuxjournal.com/content/hello-again-linux. Thanks for publishing it, @linuxjournal!
These are hardware kill switches.
Not a webcam cover. Not software disabled Wi-Fi. Kill switch.
Laptops should have these.
Ours do.
"Nothing I found quite hit that sweet spot. ...but then a colleague suggested I look into Purism. I fell in love and bought a Librem 13. It's been so great."

Guess which two apps arrived in F-Droid today? #libremmail #libremsocial
There's a little bug https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroid-website/issues/353 that means new apps aren't linking properly on the #fdroid website https://search.f-droid.org/?q=librem , but you'll find them via the client!
It doesn't happen often but, when the stars align just right, you can find some good discounts at the Purism store.
Right now Librem 15 laptops can be found for $250 off -- and the pre-order for the Librem 5 smartphone is going up by $50 in June.
Sensor calibration settings can be used by apps/sites to fingerprint iOS and Android phones.
We added a "Lockdown Mode" for the Librem 5 which allows you to defend against this.

Librem 5 – End of May Progress Update
So many changes -- kernel updates, making calls, messaging, adaptive UI improvements, documentation, and more. Plus some quick video clips demonstrating some of the software work (including running on dev kit)!
You can pre-order the Librem 5 smartphone (shipping starts in Q3) for $649.
Price goes up to $699 soon as we prepare for launch.
We believe that privacy and technology can be moral and convenient.
