#Librem5 users waiting for #PureOS Crimson: Giving money to Purism is not the only option:

I (Peter) for one definitely trust @devrtz more than a company distracted by building a robot ;-)
@BrianA @linmob @devrtz I'd say it's not about trust but necessity. The final decision which code lands on devices shipped by Purism by default can only be done by Purism - so it won't pan out without collaboration. I guess we want to see at least the bandwidth to continue kernel maintenance plus the bandwidth to review and merge contributions spent there.
(People who don't want to run the default OS have lots of alternatives already).
@agx is your work still paid by purism?
@agx @devrtz Agreed. Don't put all eggs into one basket, and collaboration can always accomplish more.
That said, I'd really like to see some 'transparency' from @Purism: Where's the PureOS subscription money going? It does not have to be as detailed as your excellent monthly posts, but something would be really nice.
@agx @linmob @devrtz Assuming Purism puts the money where it's supposed to go and actually starts working on Crimson again. Considering little came out of the app initiative that everyone has been funding I don't trust them to follow through on paying their developers again to get stuff done.
