Very interested in repair but I also want software freedom, and I've not heard anything about avoiding proprietary drivers/software.

I run /e/ OS on my FP4, super easy install. Been loving it.

small company, my dude. they only have a few hundred employees, but they have said numerous times that they are planning to bring a full release to the US.

But it's deGoogled running something called /e/OS, and it's only compatible with T-Mobile and stuff that uses their network

I'd love a fully featured one here in the states that can be brought to any carrier over here
