I am using the Librem 5. I don’t do anything all that demanding so it is okay for me. Basically light web browsing, Signal messages, some occasional SMS/MMS and calls. I was one of the pre-orders so I saw all the drama unfold with delays and denying refunds, but I received my device and have been daily driving it for 3 years now. I like it overall and don’t plan to go back to dailying ios or android.
Would I recommend Purism Librem 5 to others? I dunno actually. Despite the refunds fiasco, Purism made every effort to deliver a phone to everyone who ordered one. My phone works fine, but it is noticeably slower than most normie phones. There are more options out there like the FLX1, but I have no experience using it so I can’t speak to it. I would say, it’s worth a shot getting the FLX1 for the slightly beefier hardware. Just be sure to temper your expectations and take your time testing things out.
Laughing using Linux, de googled android and FOSS apps
Laughing using mobile Linux
I wish that I could switch to it but my main phone doesn’t have build for any Linux distro. And I would have to make one myself
That is the next step for me! How do you like it? Which device are you using it on?
