   Good morning. I am contemplating my escape from the Apple ecosystem (my iPhone 11 is nearly dead, want to go more FOSS). Does anyone have any experience with Librem phones? https://puri.sm/products/librem-5/

     @chris My use case is mostly communication (text, phone, secure messaging like Signal). I'm not a photographer; I don't use it for entertainment besides reading books occasionally.

     @grueproof @chris Unfortunately, I don’t think Signal runs on the Librem 5. Most recent reference I could find:

     @grueproof What is your use case? I’ve tried a number of de-googled and Android phones including Pinephone but am back on iOS, mostly due to travel and general usage away from home. So very many things just can’t be done anymore without mainstream Android or iOS

     @chris @grueproof Have you tried Organic Maps?

     @grueproof Oh… saw this after my last reply. Maps solutions are, to put it bluntly, bad. No more traffic, most addresses aren’t available and many nav apps can’t go beyond 100 miles or so

     @chris Oh. And Maps. I do use mapping. I don't travel a ton, and by road when I do.
