This is supposed to be an updated wiki table of PureOS Crimson version on Librem for the community to give an overview what works (and what still need work) and what has been tested. Latest image can be checked under “ latest ”. More info, see announcement: PureOS Crimson Development Report: December…

So SparkLan BT should be a bit more stable with it then? I always had issues with the SparkLan module dropping bluetooth connection to smartwatches. Also was a pain to pair to any vehicle as well.

It is difficult to say… The difference is not so big, but my personal opinion that LibreELEC a little bit stable (at least to listen music by BT headphones). So, it would be interesting to get your feedback :slight_smile: It should be noted that there is no official FW upgrade neither from Purism o…

Partly why I started a thread for third party Wifi/Bluetooth modules and WWAN modules.

I got disk usage 80% after flash crimson, is this normal? Thanks,

You mean, when you flashed, your system only uses about 80% of eMMC disc space and the root/home partition doesn’t fill the whole disc (showing available root/home disc space as just few GB)? Yes, normal. Installation is not optimized yet to automatically fill the whole disc. If you want, I think yo…

You can use GNOME Disks instead: [image] Crimson Experience Librem 5 /boot is the same partition size on both Byzantium and Crimson, while /var is approximately 5.5 GB on Crimson, with 68% of it occupied on a fresh image. Attempting to install Secrets like las…

That issue #19 on sound output and mic input has been closed recently . Could someone confirm that it is now possible to make and receive calls in Crimson? Is the new build with the fix already available? If calls and SMS are working, I would be interested to join testing Crimson. Should be fixed n…

I’ve tested bluez 5.79 for a couple of weeks and it works really good (on Byzantium, but Crimson backports also contain that). I observed only some delay of about 5 seconds to BT button becomes available after the phone wakeup, but headphones connect from the first try all time. Note: librem5-base …

It looks like Crimson work is progressing a lot lately so I’m hoping to try a Crimson alpha + your backports with this soon. For now, I’m leaving my franken-Byzantium alone :smiley:

Just worried about that when the Crimson is out in any luck this year, a lot of packages will be already in the middle of the life cycle. Some of the applications are really old such Phosh .34. Is Crimson based on the Bookworm? if it is, I think it is good before 2028?
