I’ve had a search but couldn’t turn anything up, not to say it doesn’t exist of course.
Is there a step by step guide about the first things suggested that I do with a new Librem 5? I want to get things right from the get go so if there is a beginner sort of guide that would be marvellous.
Also, I follow the LinMOB blog: https://linmob.net/ He has had some good tutorials and setup links from time-to-time. I find it to be a great resource for Linux Mobile, as a whole. Otherwise, the moderators and long-timers here: @FranklyFlawless, @amarok, @irvinewade to name three, are great resources.
Yes. That is a conservative approach. For me: do the basic set up and then back it up. However there’s nothing stopping someone from doing both. It depends on probability of breakage / amount of tinkering.
Don’t know but I would say:
set proper passwords for a) encryption passphrase if applicable and b) unlock PIN
make sure that your phone has picked up the correct date/time (manually fix if not)
then get it on the WiFi
then apply updates
set timezone
import Contacts
configure email client (Geary)
do backup
(I’ve omitted a few, more technical, things that I myself did.)
After that it may come down to what you personally intend to do with the phone.
