Are you happy with your Librem 14?

Right, that’s why I said “layout/battery”.

Sounds like overall a pretty good machine. I think it’s hard to find any laptop that is 100% perfect, as everyone has their own idea on what a perfect laptop would look like.

I think purism as a company puts considerable time and thought into everything they make while also realizing that improvements can follow in future iterations. Hard to find another company that is prioritizing privacy and security in the way which they do, and for that I appreciate the work they have done.

I’m sure some if not most of the biggest issues people have will be addressed in the L14V2 or whatever follows the L14. Until then, the L14 is a great choice.

Is that a company I don’t know about or meant as a general sense/feeling from a company like Purism when such considerations are put in the forefront of their mission/goal?

I just misunderstood, I thought you were pointing out another company with a similar goal as Purism.
Not sure there are than many other Linux laptop makers the fit into the same space as the Librem 14, but I’m not an expert by any means.

If you looking for a label “linux laptop” it is huge outside in the market, including apple, windows, whatever brands laptops as they can run linux blobs with opensouce os blobs… So Purism it using gnu free-software operating systems in they machines, so in the sense purism is selling “gnu laptop” not “linux laptop”.
Linux laptop mean an opensourced/os laptop, not security, not privacy, not freedom, not ethical, not nothing nothing from opensource labels & OSes.

Added: you can also call Linux-Laptop to the Librem 14 if it makes you socially happy, but you can also call it luxurious GNU-Laptop too.

I am satisfied with librem 14 but it did work fine for days. Some apps such as firefox crash sometimes on PureOS via librem 14 laptop thats all. I’m not saying that the librem 14 laptop is an inferior product but I’m just testing the laptop thats all. You know the issue with my librem laptop is the missing firmware thats all.

I went from windows to mac to linux but i have minor issues too with L14 laptop so otherwise the L14 laptop worked after all. And I’m glad to hear it from you.
