@purism i have to question the mindset at Purism, why was resources put into Librem One for Apple and Android devices, when they are releasing their own device that hasn’t even a fully functioning (basic) web browser on launch date????

I can't imagine the same people working on Librem5 were working on Librem One, so the latter would've had no influence on the Librem5 development.

It's an awesome mindset: Purism helps people to transition away from big tech without the need for a hard disruption. You can try Librem Chat without having to use a Linux phone /laptop and even without paying.

For the same reason, you can stay in touch with your family in case you go "all in" with a Linux phone. It's a much saner approach than "making sure WhatsApp can work on the Librem 5", when a major reason to choose it is to leave such companies.
