Our team works hard to maintain support for the Librem 5 phone. Check out the progress on mainline support for the phone and its development kit. Kudos to the team 🎉 https://puri.sm/posts/purism-and-linux-5-16/

Support is nice. But delivering would be nice too.

@purism this is salt + wound. How about focusing on shipping the hardware? Or perhaps refunding monies already taken?

@purism what phone?? I don't have a phone to need supporting. You took my money and delivered nothing.

@purism i believe the bad press is undoing whatever work the company is doing. how would i find courage to part with my money for something that doesn't deliver.

@purism Isn't this phone gonna keep rising up in price though? I really want it but the fact that's it's gonna cost $1000 by next year makes it not worth it. No matter how good a phone is, I am not spending $1000 on it. Hopefullu the price goes back down.

@purism @merge thank you for continuing to improve mainline support for this device. Virtually all other OEMs just dump hardware into the wild with old/unmaintained downstream kernels to support it... which is terrible for everyone except the OEM and their bank account.
