Dear Purism,
thank you very much for that Linux Phone. I thought to buy some other Linux phone with modern hardware, but do not done this. Because i love my Librem 5 and the Updates build a more and more Stable System with every six month the time past by.
There are more and more usable Flatpacks and the Phone itself save more Power every day.
I just complain a bit that i can not install the latest POSH Software or enhanced Keyboard right now. But i will wait patiently. However i have some old Android Phones from 2019 and i thought that i may start them to be a replacement for my self compiled Android Phone from 2012 to supplant my daily alarm clock or have some usable Camera Device for taking Pictures on the road.
But now way. The Android drop its Support for even self compiled Updates years before and the Drivers are not supported and if i try to have some android phone with some community android and evil Alphabets surveillance capitalism development kid to train some LLM with my data. I have to have some security supported Android 14 from 2023 at last to a one or two years phone with at least 2 years supported software.
Its such a joke in 2026 that i can hold it. Thank you Purism that i can have a Linux Phone with a modern Kernel right now and Patches for Browser and the rest right now.
Yes the Batteries are some important feature to have a working device in future. My every day loaded mp3 player from 2012 works, and the 2012er Phone too but my 2019 Android Hardware for 250 Euros is some kind of a brick right now.
This is why i love Linux and you all to carry on the flame of support and hope every day. Thank you very much!
