I met Todd Weaver, the founder, and CEO of Purism, in San Francisco as I was there for Red Hat Summit. We sat down for an hour-long interview, before heading out to some drinks. You can read the whole interview in the upcoming issue of Linux Pro/ADMIN magazine.

What’s Purism
Purism is one of those few companies that offer hardware preloaded with Linux based distributions. Purism has created its own Debian Linux based distribution called PureOS that runs on the Librem laptops and  2-in-1 detachable laptop-and-tablet devices. The company is also working on a Linux based smartphone called Librem 5.
