> no proprietary drivers unlike anything else on the market

You continue to be misleading with your wording.

You dishonestly promote an $800 product in comment after comment.

Hiding your obvious shilling behind the moral cloak of "activism" is pathetic. It's worse than pathetic, as it runs the risk of harming genuine activism.

What are you trying to tell with you link? You did not provide any arguments or explanation. Yes, it has a modem with update-able firmware, so what? It's a separate card with its own firmware that you can remove or replace. The firmware sits on the modem, not in the OS and does not affect it.

PureOS is endorsed by the FSF and contains no proprietary software.

		They really probably aren't going to get lifetime updates to their modem's closed-source firmware. They can't even get timely updates to their modem's closed-source firmware. It's great that the OS is open source, it really is. But all bits going out over the cellular radio are handled by proprietary firmware, same as every other phone out there. Educate me: Is there a way to know when the modem's firmware needs updating? When was the last update shipped?
