No - But I certainly would like to see a "downloadable version" for developers to test install & configure on OTHER PRE-OWNED Android phones.  I understand Pure OS is designed for Librem5 but NOT everyone can afford the high price.  May be as important; bringing "NEW LIFE" back to perfectly fine phones being "BLOCKED - MERELY TO SELL NEW EQUIPMENT".   In addition, I would think Purism would sell MANY MORE phone plans &/or AweSIM & SIMple  as well.  Hopefully helping to drive down the currant prices.  I believe the Purism & the high value placed on security, but many perspective buyers shun away as it is still portrayed as still in development & most reviewers claim it CANNOT be relied upon as a daily device.  So close, yet so far away the price & gamble become  insurmountable...       
IMHO,
