New testing thread for the new versions of the PureOS images for Librem 5 (old/previous testing thread from Janyary). This is supposed to be an updated wiki table of PureOS Crimson version on Librem 5 phone for the community to give/get an overview what works (and what still need work) and what has been tested. Almost organized group effort to get to know the new features and peculiarities of future Librem 5.
Remember to also give feedback of non-working issues (bugs) to PureOS-project - Purism Mailing Lists
This time we have two images available - with LUKS encryption and without - but I was thinking we’ll treat those as one and the same and only make separate notes if we find any differences between them (assuming both work). Any bugs should be reported to the mailing list.
And note all, that these are not classified even as alpha releases yet, so there is no guarantee that you can keep using these or even be able to upgrade these to normal eventually - so prepare to reinstall (my strong suggestion is to take a disc image before starting, so you can always return back to that). For installation instructions, check community wiki’s tips&tricks or look for threads about jumpdrive etc.
This is a wiki’d post and table that anyone can update. Add lines and apps and features. You can check the old table for pointers, how to make notes. Try to keep the format and be concise - your updates may also be updated and corrected.
