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.

And yet they straight up ignore one of the biggest cell phone markets by not selling in the US at all.

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.

Technically you can buy one in the US, but spare parts (especially the battery) might pose some issues

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
