puri.sm claimed they could build phones and new notebooks getting respect
your freedom certified. The impossibility of that goal was known. And puri.sm has not delivered. It made puri.sm liars and if buyers did not know better, puri.sm a skinner. How does pureos sail in regards of security and privacy? Have they thoroughly made sure puruos does not come
with software inflicting on peoples privacy? How does pureos stand about
security and privacy compared to trisquel? Any reservations about
using pureos? Thanks.
I think that's better answered on a Purism forum.
I am a translator!
Pureos is listed at https://www.gnu.org/distros/free-distros.fr.html so I assume it is following the GNU FSDG.
I have heard some say that PureOS still uses a vanilla kernel. I am not sure if this is the case or not.
That being said, even if everything was freely licensable even their computers, they supposedly are not very good at their job. quite a few people reported hardware failures using purism's hardware and in some cases software.
So its likely that it wouldn't mean much even then due to reliability and other failures.
Although, its even more likely still that you shouldn't trust them no matter what at this point. They have been deceptive in many ways... so yeah.

Then you had better not write that. According to https://docs.puri.sm/Software/PureOS/Overview.html "PureOS does NOT include any non-free proprietary software or firmware (aka binary blobs)" and, apparently, the FSF has not been given any reason to believe otherwise: https://www.gnu.org/distros/free-distros.html
