Free software people want a device to run entirely on free
software. Free software is software you may use, share, modify and redistribute. About
phones no modem is a free software modem. Next best option is a
phone where everything else runs on free software. The wifi card and gps
device on the pinephone requires non free software? I assume the Mali 400 MP2
gpu will not run optimally if no non free software is installed? I have heard,
people are working on improving the free software support of the
mentioned gpu. And better support should be present in the newest version of
libre linux kernel.
How is the wifi card located on the phone? Can it be changed with another
wifi card in a future version of the pinephone? Same question
about the gps?
Would it be possible to have an attachment having another wifi card and
gps? Or attachments cannot be usb devices?
