No. It uses Hallium (Android kernel, basically).
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.
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
Anything that’s updated with the OS can be rolled back. Now Windows is Windows so Crowdstrike handles things it’s own way. But I bet if Canonical or RedHat were to make their own versions of Crowdstrike, they would push updates through the o regular packages repo, allowing it to be rolled back.
