Purism PureOS

PureOS is a Debian derivative developed as both a developer release based on Debian testing, and a stable release based on Debian stable. Originally designed for security and freedom conscious desktop users, PureOS is for everyone who values freedom. PureOS is considered "free as in Freedom" by the FSF. https://www.gnu.org/distros/free-distros.en.html

NB! The upstream project name is simply "PureOS". The name of this page includes its main sponsor merely to distinguish from an earlier distribution of the same name which is no longer active (project leader of said other distribution has agreed to hand over domain to new project, but formal and practical handover is progressing only very slowly).
