@coldacid @purism The various BSD's are lacking greatly in hardware support. Infact, the graphics drivers for AMD GPUs on FreeBSD are just a port of the linux drivers, not a FreeBSD driver.

@purism So Aspen shipped to basically ten or twenty people in the project? There hasn't been a peep about receiving and testing the librem 5 from anyone outside of purism (except garner, who had Todd next to him the whole time). I wouldn't mind that, if we actually got communication about that being the case.

@rancicivan @lunduke I second that! Plasma mobile on this would be nice to see!

@lunduke I'd really like to see a indepth video of it's current state.

@Jessica @lunduke

I heard Plasma mobile should eventually be available to install, and it already has a dark breeze theme and do not disturb, as well as a night mode iirc.

@lunduke Nothing new to show?

Bryan Lunduke is also getting his today.

There's also this person i saw claiming to have gotten a modem email a few days ago (not me the poster, but the person in the pic): https://www.reddit.com/r/Purism/comments/de7zt4/nice_job_purism_looking_forward_to_the_reviews/

@zwerg12 Agreed! Lunduke, please record a phone call on it, and do a text message!

@lunduke

Showcase the state of the graphics drivers, how much the CPU can handle before thermal throttling, and take pictures and video with the cameras

@brandon123 librem 11 was cancelled to free up development for the librem 5

@omgubuntu I preordered a Librem 5. Expensive, but i hope it's hardware works fine and the software will eventually become a really good experience.

@alexbuzzbee

When you get the shipping message it will indicate your current batch. They won't send the shipping message until it's being shipped out.

@alexbuzzbee @purism

They mention the shipping dates in their website news page. Aspen will be shipped out by October 24th. You should be receiving a batch email confirming which batch you want to try getting in, and then later when the phone is shipped you should get a shipping email where you confirm your modem.

Looks like some of the shipping emails have started rolling out! #purism #librem5

@PiratePatriot @purism

I am 100% going to find a generic screen protector for mine. It would be cool to get rubber feet for the sides too to help with shock absorption should you drop it.

@agx @purism

Glad to see posh improving so fast!

If only we could get our hands on a librem, and see some reviews finally. I'm drooling!

@purism I'd like to see reviews from other sources finally, confirming the fact that it was actually shipped out, and which voices a more indepth analysis of the phone and it's use.

@purism @RandomPhoton

Man i can't wait to get my claws on mine! I guess the metal acts as a heatsink? I'm so glad you went that route!

First time on mastadon/librem one. Interesting so far!
