A potential mobile phone product that could run UBports!

@klowe Looks interesting. Maybe a cooperation with Ubports???

It would be a nice device. It appears that KDE wants to support it. I wonder how difficult it would be to run UB on such a device. Much easier than on any other?

If they can afford it, it will be great choice, theoretically can run with any GNU/Linux System without anything about Android.

@uzanto said in Librem 5:

I think we should be good from that point of view. Their quick facts says "Does not run Google Android" and "Does not run Apple iOS". The only thing to worry about is that it would not be able to take off due to insufficient funds.
