@thibaultamartin *Please*, *please* check upfront if things are that way on the Librem 5 because of a FOSS culture and what would have been the alternatives. This might just be the transparency paradox.
I can say for sure that engineers weren't in charge of the entirety of a product. There were/are designers, product managers, etc. which were involved upfront (not as an aftermath).
@thibaultamartin I can see many things related to the Librem 5 that could be better (but I can also many, many things that could be worse) and I wouldn't be able to tell where the Librem 5's design driven approach with source code and most of the discussions available in public would have *hurt* that development.
In fact the opposite: without all other things happening in the FOSS Space we'd be in a worse position today and without design hand holding UI/HW it would look very much different.
