New Post: Purism 2022 Roadmap

[fsflover]

@whistler

On a high level, one thing I’d like to see is Purism conducting more polls along the lines of:

• Which proposed design would you buy and how much would you pay for it?
• Which features are must-haves? Which are must-not-haves?

What happened to Librem 15?

At the moment we have the Librem 14, which fits in a nice middle ground between the 13 footprint, but with a larger actual screen. Between that and the dramatically improved resources on it, it seems like it does fit a sweet spot. However, I would be interested to know which of the features that are missing compared to the 15 (full-size keyboard with numpad, higher resolution screen, slightly larger screen, larger overall footprint) that would prevent people from ordering a Librem 14 instead.

@whistler

I suggest that the headphone jack needs a microphone input.

What happened to Librem 15?

I assume an adapter (TRRS to Mic) would not work for you? [image] Then… I know auto-sense ports are a thing. So, it’s entirely possible that the port would detect your microphone as such. That would be the simplest solution. We just need someone to test or confirm it

@whistler

I suggest that we split up the kill switches for wifi, bluetooth

Wifi and Bluetooth are on the same chip, and, moreover, Bluetooth is not officially supported, since it requires a proprietary blob.

@SC87Returns

Is their anyway possilbe, they can make Pureboot more user friendly?

AFAIK this is exactly why Purism still don’t make Pureboot the default. After it’s all solved, Coreboot will not be really needed I guess.
