Who would’ve thought? This isn’t going to fly with the EU.
Article 5.3 of the Digital Markets Act (DMA): “The gatekeeper shall not prevent business users from offering the same products or services to end users through third-party online intermediation services or through their own direct online sales channel at prices or conditions that are different from those offered through the online intermediation services of the gatekeeper.”

I won’t stop you from using the Librem but at the end of the day a false sense of security is more damaging than anything else. I can with 100% certainty assure you that even your average Samsung phone has better security than the Librem. A phone with absolute abbysmal and ancient hardware that Purism sells for 10-20 times the cost of an equivalently powerful Android phone from AliExpress. Heck, even the PinePhone (which also runs Linux) sells for like $200 and has better hardware. Purism is a scam company. I know you don’t want to hear this but it’s the truth.
You set up the fingerprint sensor on the Pixel 8 like any other Android phone. Either during first setup or by going into your security settings.
I know better than to ever give Samsung any money let alone any respect or delusion of security.
At the end of the day you are trusting someone you don’t know with all sense of identity, privacy, and knowledge of yourself: location, history, and money.
Fuck that. I’ll take FOSS.
As to fingerprint. How so? There’s no longer a fingerprint reader.
The fact is there’s no privacy without security and the Librem doesn’t have the latter.
The sensor is built into the display.
You trust Samsung. I’ll take you word with a grain of salt.
As to pixel. Ty. I’ll have to look into that.
Ask the GrapheneOS Discord/Matrix. They’ll tell you the exact same thing.
I think I’m good with CalyxOS. Don’t have the time to dig into working with GrapheneOS. Kind of Didn’t to begin with.
Don’t use Calyx: https://eylenburg.github.io/android_comparison.htm
