Review of Librem15 v2

Hi Mathias, thanks for the review. Always interested to find out perspectives of other Librem users. Thanks.

No bluetooth,

Yup, when I’m using other Linux distro, I had to use a Bluetooth dongle instead. I’m using bluetooth quite a lot nowadays; headphone, speaker, mouse, etc.

no coreboot,

Takes some time I guess.

I personally appreciate Purism’s efforts on these, such as https://puri.sm/posts/todds-librem-13-with-coreboot-and-a-neutralized-me/

Finally somebody is willing to take the pain.

But I understand if people have different expectations.

wrong ssd, no suspend,

I have same SSD (Samsung EVO) and I can suspend just fine ? With all Linux distros so far. Sorry, no idea about this problem.

half broken touchpad

Yes, if I want touchpad, then I had to use PureOS. Otherwise, I just plugged my bluetooth mouse. Of course on a very mobile situations, it’s not always convenient to use external mouse. So yeah, it’d be great if the touchpad could work on any distros.

cheers, HS
