Thanks for your review. I think that these types of reviews are extremely valuable for Purism in prioritizing their efforts.
I use my Librem 5 as a daily driver for approximately one and a half year. I am a big supporter of this project. But I recognize many of the issues you describe. I also saw a lot of improvements over the time, so I hope that all these issues will get fixed.
I do not call and SMS a lot, so I can keep using the Librem 5 as my primary device.
For me the number one priority is a stable data connection. I use a autosuspend delay from value of 5000. The icon that you get now when there is no data connection is a huge improvement, because now at least I know when there is no connection. I have a little script to reset the connection:
#!/bin/bash
mmcli -m any > /home/purism/`date +"%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S"`_mmcli.log
nmcli c show > /home/purism/`date +"%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S"`_nmcli.log
mmcli -m any --reset
service NetworkManager restart
sleep 30
echo 5000 > /sys/devices/platform/soc@0/38200000.usb/xhci-hcd.4.auto/usb1/1-1/1-1.2/power/autosuspend_delay_ms
Although it would not be a real solution, running such a script automatically when losing the data connection would be a great improvement from the perspective of the user.
I also have the feeling that several issues that I (and maybe you) experience are related to losing the data connection.
