@kev @blacklight447 I don't know about the defaults, but pmOS supports the librem 5 and has FDE support.

@kev @blacklight447 with truly open phones, the idea of using the stock OS is about as dumb as the idea of using the OS that comes with your laptops. I would expect to reflash any open phone on day one.

@sir @kev but if your not expected to run the stock os: 1. Why do they even develope it in this case?
2. Then it shouldn't be marketed as something normal end users could/should use, but only tech savvy folks with 800$ to burn.

P.s. the librem 5 is still full of binary blobs, so its not even nearly "truly open"

@blacklight447 @kev they might expect you to run the stock OS, but _I_ don't expect you to run the stock OS.

Also, we're not talking about security anymore. For the record, I don't like the Librem 5 for a multitude of reasons. I am not defending it.

@sir @kev thats okay, my opinion on the matter is: if you are a tinkerer who likes messing around with your device, then the librem 5 is just for you, but its just not ready for normal end users to adopt, i would say having default disk encryption enabled is a fair minimum requirement for mobile devices.

@blacklight447 @kev I think you have a lot of work to do if you want to get FDE by default on most mobile devices

@sir @kev i would say thats less unlikely then you think, android has had default encryption since (i think?) Android 5, ios has had it for ages as well. Laptops are more problematic, but atleast mac os and linux have out of the box support(not turned on, but support). Regarding windows, MS need to get their ass of the enterprise throne and allow windoes home users to utilize bitlocker

You strike me as a #qubes user. If someone ported #qubes to the Librem 5 would you consider it?

My previous guess was based iin your insistence with sanboxing even for a Linux Desktop with well curated repositories such as Debian

@maryjane @sir @kev well qubes is not a distro that you can port easily, this is because it utilizes hardware features for its isolation, currently it uses intel vt-d and vt-x. Btw yes im a qubes user ;)

If it was easy, would it be fun?

@maryjane @sir @kev dunno, you tell me, but porting it would be a massive undertaking , if you were to do that, i would port it to power 9 instead of arm, so you can run it on ACTUAL open source hardware like the talos II :D
