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.

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
