    Yeh. The Librem was a classic example of overpromise and underdeliver. Borderline scamware by Purism. Will never go near them again.

    Wish it one day becomes viable, but it’s really hard for a phone os to compete with ios and android. So many have tried and failed.

          All manufacturers who follow US law do, it’s part of the GPL license. The problem is that the code is all made for some really old version of Linux, either 2.4 or 4.x, which isn’t compatible with mainline.

            Phones usually had 4.4 for a very long time as that was a super lts. But also distribute it (looking at you john deere)

    Receiving a Librem 5 as a gift, having fun for a weak and then trade the thing for a steamdeck - sneaky Vanta.

    I mean, I’m not saying PayPal and apps needing whatever play store check are shit, but… Oh, wait, I am saying they’re shit 😝

    Anyways, let’s try again. Yeah, librem kinda sucks, but mostly in terms of hardware, availability, and their situation with not delivering on time and not returning the money.
