@techlore We need a lot of patience with these kinds of projects or we'll never have a GNU/Linux phone. Remember they managed to do what even Canonical with more money and resources backed out of. @purism said they expect to reach shipping parity soon so I guess all genuine backers and customers should get hopefully by the end of this year at least.

cypridinoid,

@islamicaudiobooks @techlore @purism But they didn't. Not at scale at least. Putting some devices on the hands of a very few out of the already niche market of people who already PAID for the product is actually worst than the canonical project that never took off. It's not that it's impossible buy you need a clear business model. I mean the Linux market share just grazed the 3% most likely on the back of the steam deck, not devices per se but the halo of Linux as a viable gaming alternative /1

dhbirb,

@techlore This really isn't news, it's been known for years. They just kept paying off social media shills to keep promoting them.

@techlore
I read a lot of those Librem scam stories. Definitely avoid!
I also read a report that says it's not that private and secure, it's all a facade to sell. What a scam.
I'm disappointed :(

albert,

@techlore man I remember being excited about this phone like.. half a decade ago
