==Mobile Operating Systems==
[https://sailfishos.org/ Sailfish OS] — Based on open source, developed by Finnish company Jolla and the Sailfish OS community. Licensed devices come with a (proprietary) Android compatibility layer as a stop-gap solution to the relatively small amount of native apps.=== Usable today ===
[https://purilineageos.smorg/shop/librem-5/ PureOSLineageOS] — Privacy-focused is the most popular community distribution of Google's Android operating system and mobile . Using Lineage, it is possible to have a fully-functional android phonewithout all of the integration with google services that android ordinarily entails. Several choices for UI and software. Phone has CPU separate from baseband processor and hardware kill switchesMany LineageOS users choose to install things that will interact with Google services, but it is not necessary to do so.
[https://replicant.us Replicant] — AndroidOS Android without all the any proprietary crap. Means Replicant is similar to Lineage in that it is a distribution of Android, but has a much stronger dedication to the principles of free (libre) software. In practice, this means that it works only doesn't work on some rather ancient devices nearly as many device models and that some drivers are missing (GPU, Wifi, Bluetooth, etc.). Interesting It is an interesting project to help demonstrate how much Android relies on proprietary software to function, to debunk Google's myth that "Android is Free/libre software". '''Please note, you can order Replicant ready phones, post shipped to anywhere, from the brilliant [https://autotelic.berlin/ Autotelic].''' [https://sailfishos.org/ Sailfish OS] — Partially open source, developed by Finnish company Jolla and the Sailfish OS community. Licensed devices come with a (proprietary) Android compatibility layer as a stop-gap solution to the relatively small amount of native apps. Though it contains many proprietary parts, the community has ported the OS to a variety of existing devices beyond those sold by Jolla. === Near-future developments === [https://puri.sm/shop/librem-5/ PureOS] — Privacy-focused operating system and mobile phone currently in development. Several choices for UI and software. Phone will have a CPU that is separated from the baseband processor, and will have hardware kill switches for radios, microphone, camera, etc. [https://www.postmarketos.org/ postmarketOS] (pmOS), is a touch-optimized, pre-configured Alpine Linux that can be installed on smartphones and other mobile devices. The project is at very early stages of development and is not usable for most people yet, but it does have initial support for many different devices and seems to have considerable development momentum. They are "aiming for a 10 year life-cycle for smartphones".
