I've now favorited this thread, thank you for the many recommendations.
Do you happen to know if any of these companies monitor their supply chains to avoid China? I recognize that that's not the fight that many of these companies are fighting, but it seems like a worthwhile one that would probably tip at least me over from one option to another.
I've done a little poking around myself, but haven't seen anything.

On the software side, see here: https://puri.sm/posts/protecting-the-digital-supply-chain/ https://puri.sm/posts/protecting-the-digital-supply-chain/. On the hardware side, they are trying to produce their phones outside China, but it’s expensive: https://puri.sm/products/librem-5-usa/ https://puri.sm/products/librem-5-usa/ ($750 for phones produced in China vs $2000 for those produced in the USA).
