Your expectations are not reasonable. Imagine complaining about MacOS not working on a Windows laptop or vice versa. You should buy preinstalled the OS you want instead.

If you wanted to run Ubuntu from the beginning, it would be better to search for a computer designed for it, not for Windows.

He said it was possible but not easy at all. Doesn't it even require opening the device and breaking the nail polish pattern?

At least I don't reply to every comment about GrapheneOS with "it's not as free as Librem 5 and you have to pay Google, and you have to rely on blobs running on the main CPU" etc. This is exactly what the GrapheneOS cro

You may never be able to completely protect yourself, but you can make an attack much more costly. For example, I use Heads with a hardware key to defend myself from an Evil Maid.

Because there is no absolute security. This is also a pun. I am not talking about every vulnerability in the world but about this one.

As usual, Qubes is not vulnerable, since by its design, any untrusted software runs in dedicated VMs with hardware virtualization. Meanwhile, recent Xen CVEs also do not affect Qubes, as usual, https://www.qubes-os.org/news&

This is not a forum with legal advises. I inform people about an option, which they asked for. GNU/Linux phones have a similar security approach to GNU/Linux on desktop. People explicitly seeking GNU/Linux should know this. T

Only if your threat model is equal to the one from the GrapheneOS crowd, and only if you value freedom less than maximal security. It's fine if this is your choice, just don't say this is the only reasonable choice. Concerning &qu

@TommyTran732, you are going to a great length to downplay everything about devices/companies promoting freedom, including Librem 5, Purism, and laptops with Heads. And you are promoting proprietary staff instead. This looks like troll

You missed that I do not recommend Librem 5 to "almost everyone". We are not on a normies forum but on HN. Also, I do not recommend Librem 5, when somebody asks for a secure device. I mention it, when somebody asks about alternati

Qubes team never criticized Purism laptops for their lack of security. At least I didn't see that. They criticized other things, which may be important for some and less important for others. The phone is off-topic on the Qubes forum,
