Edit: The post was moved out (why @KevPham :weary_face:) from the original thread, but since almost all my questions are related to NovaCustom, I’ll edit just to @wessel-novacustom

Has Proton in any way helped out NovaCustom / iodéOS, or any of the related projects?

This is a weak argument. For customers for whom the Google hardware is a redline, they’d rather flash SailfishOS on their devices, not a multi-million line software authored by the said “enemy”.

Besides, folks using GrapheneOS (250k active GrapheneOS installs from what I read on their forums) “feeding” Google by buying Pixels is a tall claim when their quarterly revenues are $100bn+ dollars.

Niice. Reminds me of StarBooks. You ship internationally?

You could consider cold emailing Nirav Patel, founder at Framework Computer,[1] and Luis Rossmann at the Rossmann Repair Group. I’m planning to meet few folksfrom Framework Computer in Jan 2026, & I can suggest your project for their sponsorship fund?

  1. From what I know, Nirav actively seeks to help folks building repairable-hardware upstarts (ex). ↩︎
