Last weekend I received my Purism Librem5. Ordered in Oct. 2020 it took a while. I purchased a promise, developer resources, an idea. And finally it materialised. It feels
large, heavy, fine 
So first charge, than do some updates, reboot frequently. It’s not Winbug but who wants to teach an old kernel new tricks? Shocking when the drive lock did not accept the (default) password any longer. After third attempt suddenly worked. Oups.
The first experiences are mixed. Great: Very familiar desktop, its Linux and Gnome-like. Good. First app started was Terminal and worked fine as expected. First convergent phone ever seen. Phone calls in both directions fine. Screen responsive.
I take time to get used to it before I start using it in rough daily life.
Not so good:
Battery is almost empty after 1/2 a day without using it, without SIM card inserted. Wow …
Need to check soon what processes are running.
WLAN works with cheap TP-Link TL-WR841N/ND v11 but not yet with Turris Omnia in 2,4 and 5GHz. Atheros AR9287 802.11bgn for 2,4 ist completely ignored by now, Qualcomm Atheros QCA9880 802.11bgnac is recognized but connect does not work yet. Need to do some experiments. Cumbersome due to frequent failure to persist settings set in the GUI (like WPA protocol choice; even GUI shows inconsistent “current” settings - not very encouraging).
Disappointing:
Settings are frequently not stored (like APN for mobile connection) or just overwritten with default each start (screen scaling). Some, not all. Very annoying.
I’ll need to find out the proper config file and do it with vi??
Is this not storing settings a common issue? Settings are not persisted (although buttons prompt it to be accepted)?
Hints welcome.
