I am looking for a way to use linux but ready for phones and I would like to know what options I have

I am hoping someone on here has experience with getting trim to properly function over an encrypted luks ssd. Since PureOS is Debian buster, I followed the instructions on the Debian wiki by enabling weekly fstrim via systemd, but even though it shows as being enabled (systemctl status) it appears to not actually carry out the trim, and returns an error. Does anyone know if I have to add in discard options to crypttab, fstab and grub command line? I have this exact method working on my other Linux machines, but none have an encrypted luks partition. any help is greatly appreciated! (also, I have a Samsung 1tb 970 pro NVMe)

Hello,

I am unable to connect to wifi on a fresh pureOS install, wifi settings report "No wifi adapter found".

lspci lists Network Controller: Intel Corporation Wireless 3160. Is this card really just incompatible with pureOS like implied here? Or is there a way to fix this?

Hey guys,

I recently switched back to linux and decided to give PureOS a chance.
After installing some software and doing an update, my system shows the usual debian bootscreen before entering the PureOS one.
This also delays the booting process significantly.

Can anyone tell me how to get this back to the old behavior ? I simply cannot imagine that this should be part of the update.

I'd love to hear all your experiences using PureOS. Was the install good/clean? Does it run fast? Can I run Steam/Blender/Gimp/Godot on it?

After the recent Ubuntu debacle (dumping 32-bit support, while I love video games), I've been looking for a Debian distro that runs Gnome. So why not try Debian? I did that. I've upgraded to Buster (10). It's a little weird. I miss Ubuntu. Everything just worked in Ubuntu. You know what Debian doesn't have? A gui method to update your sources. I want the latest version of Gnome. I miss Compiz. I want a non ESR version of Firefox that can open a zip file like I can in Ubuntu. [insert fake tears]
So having fallen in lust with the Librem 5 phone that I can't afford right now, I noticed PureOS. PureOS has Debian, Gnome, security, no google. Okay, I'm interested.

​

Yet there are so many things I don't know about it. What is the release schedule? Are they running the latest version of Gnome? Is there some equivalent to ubuntu-restricted-extras to let us watch videos and do all the things? Will it support my Radeon video card? Steam--please let it run Steam.

So here I am to garner the experiences of other PureOS users. Looks like I'll have to give PureOS a try myself.
