Okay. Well Purism is already a free OS (modified Debian of course). It’s definitely an alternative to FirefoxOS. Librem 5 and iPhone are hardware, so you are correct that they are not software alternatives. The Librem 5 is priced at $600 probably because they’ve never built a phone before. It could be cheaper once it takes off.
You can already run Purism on other machines(laptops, desktops, etc). The mobile version will essentially be Purism with gnome-mobile UI. I’m sorry to read that you don’t think an open device that will have its drivers available and probably work with Android, isnt worth the cost.
