Librem 5 doesn't use them.
- charcircuit 3y agoWhat's your point? If free drivers are available you have the freedom to use free drivers. If they aren't available you don't unless you make them yourself.
- fsflover 3y agoMy point is that for Linux phones you are free from those Googe-created problems of the long-term support. You simply use the mainline kernel and your device works forever. > unless you make them yourself You almost never can write free drivers yourself, because the hardware specs are closed. You would need to do reverse-engineering, which is too costly.
