Let’s not forget now that Purism is a scam. Librem 5 is a joke.
How? I’m interested, because I wanted to buy one a few months ago :)
Check out Louis Rossmanns video about them. A rather shady company.
I just received mine after waiting 3+ years actually. It is pretty sweet with waydroid and KDE connect. I’m still not daily driving it because of the lack of a maps application with navigation though.
On Sailfish OS I used to use Pure Maps, which seems to be available on Flathub. I don’t know if it works on the Librem 5 though, but you might want to give it a try? There’s also an optional dependency for offline maps.
Oh yeah, I saw this on Ubuntu touch also. I’ll see if I can get the flathub repo loaded in. That will certainly increase the variety in apps I can use!
Another Linux tablet is definitely good news. I like Purism’s stated values and their laptops are very solid, the Librem phone was a disappointment for me personally though.
Too bad that Purism’s stated values are the opposite of their real business practices.
Completely agree. Maybe they can get it right this time.
8gb soldered… my phone has 16gb soldered.
I wish them good luck. Only thing that would be important to me is if it can emulate up to gamecube, play some indie/fan games, & good battery life.
( Which I feel should be do-able in 2023. )
x86 in an ipad form factor? Boo!
What linux tablets use RISC? I see PineTab does, but it’s for people who like to brag that they use Arch. Are there any that are more polished?
