From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

According to the Librem people: this is Android kernel (& other low level stuff) with Debian userspace, not a true Debian phone. https://social.librem.one/@dos/112686932765355105
At least it might actually get delivered, unlike the librem 5.... /s (but not really)
It’s already delivered - a Mastodon user got one.
But getting an OEM to make a phone under your brand is easy. The real question is how long will they keep the software maintained?
These people seem like passionate Linux enthusiasts, so one can hope.
