Have you looked into Purism (https://puri.sm https://puri.sm)? Purism makes its own hardware such as the Librem line of smartphones and laptops, and maintains its own Linux distribution called PureOS. Purism also funds the development of apps (https://puri.sm/fund-your-app/ https://puri.sm/fund-your-app/).

- elliekelly 5y ago> The Librem 5 is a phone built on PureOS, a fully free, ethical and open-source operating system that is not based on Android or iOS. And physical hardware kill switches? This almost seems too good to be true.
- ThatGeoGuy 5y agoThe physical kill switches work as described, but yes, the phone is "too good to be true." It will not (yet) replace your iPhone, although you can get pretty far on your own if you don't mind SSHing into such a device and messing with stuff on your own.
- foxpurple 5y agoThe catch is it costs more then an iPhone, gets about 2 hours battery even if the screen is off, and has a cpu slower than a $50 android.
