@williamtries@fosstodon.org You don't need to reencrypt nor resize the latest images, it's done automatically at first boot.
For building stuff like Millipixels, I'd rather advice using Debian packaging to automatically resolve dependencies and build an installable .deb file, as installing things manually quickly becomes a huge unmanageable mess.
PureOS comes with working mobile config for Firefox in firefox-esr-mobile-config package, which IIRC should be installed by default on the phone.

More nitpicks:
Regarding the smart card reader firmware, Purism posted a guide to update that: https://puri.sm/posts/openpgp-in-your-pocket/
Unsurprisingly, I really can't agree with the "avoid flatpak's" stance - it may be sustainable on postmarketOS which has way more mobile friendly apps in its repos, but with PureOS... going with GNOME Maps/Marble Maps or Gpodder... come on, there are so much better apps out there, even if it's lean Mepo that's installable via flathub. It's worth the disk space.
nitpicking your nitpick:
the firmware update for the SD card was no help enabling it to work with open PGP cards, for a long time that is now enabled by default, so new users don't need to do that to have the openPGP card work.

@joao @williamtries That's true, but people buying one used from someone who just had it in a drawer (or did not need the feature) may still find that info useful.
@linmob of course, but if you got one in the last couple of years you should not need it.
@williamtries@fosstodon.org
As for gpodder...
Tell me one app that can:
- listen podcasts AND watch videos of channels you follow (youtube, peertube, etc). All your audiovisual subscriptions in one place.
- And that can sync your subscriptions list across multiple devices
- And that it is not only in flatpak package format
and I will check it ;)
Sure gpodder may be GTk3 and ugly, but it is a very complete tool for different use cases that do do stuff that many other apps cannot.
@williamtries@fosstodon.org
@joao @williamtries Look, you do you :-)
I have nothing against gpodder, but not remembering the position of where you last stopped playbacks (largely due to it not coming with a good companion app for playback) makes it just unusable for me as a person that sometimes listens to multiple hours long podcast episodes.
Also, I don't even want video and audio subscriptions in one place, unless these are videos that don't really need the visuals - watching is so much more involved.
@joao IMHO, kasts (https://repology.org/project/kasts/versions) and even gnome-podcasts (https://repology.org/project/gnome-podcasts/versions) are much better for my usecase, if I were to go for a video playback app (I don't really enjoy video these days due to working too much), it might be Stream (https://linuxphoneapps.org/apps/sm.puri.stream/) or plasmatube (https://repology.org/project/plasmatube/versions).
Now, admittedly, none of these is in Debian, but since they're packaged in other distributions, that's IMHO more of a Debian problem than a general distro problem.
@agx `l5-fetch-next` requires `l5-devscripts` to be installed, correct? Which is not a tiny meta-package 🙂
@linmob @dos @williamtries@fosstodon.org it's contained in l5-devscripts, which is actually tiny with very few dependencies. It *recommends* a lot of things to make developing for the l5 easier but that can be skipped, see apt-get --no-install-recommends ...). This is similar in spirit to Debian's devscripts package.
@dos @williamtries Thanks @dos, I vaguely remembered this about re-encryption, thank you for confirming. Regarding millipixels, I would actually recommend to teach people how to download builds from CI master https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/millipixels/-/pipelines (it also saves precious space on the eMMC to not install all the build requirements), if they're curious - and with 0.21.0 released, this is temporarily useful, but may not always be.
