Got my Purism Librem 5 some days back.

Calls, SMS, Email and browsing works out of the box. I could get #Dino #xmpp client working after a rebuild of the version in Debian experimental.

First time trying to upgrade from default pure os 9 to 10 from command line broke the system which I fixed with help of jumpdrive recovery image. Second time I broke when I tried upgrading to Debian unstable and fixed by flashing pure os 10 directly.

My main concern so far is battery life, which roughly lasted for 8 hours after fully charged. Hopefully more battery optimizations to software will improve that. #Dino works well for end to end encrypted text/media sharing and audio/video calls. Since the default browser is epiphany, lack of #webrtc support is a disappointment, so it can't be used for meetings yet.

@praveen 8 hours is good or do people use their phones more than 8 hours per day?

@jameshjacksonjr
It is not 8 hours of use, just 8 hours it will last whether you use it or not. It is because the kernel driver don't support sleep/suspend yet. Once the driver supports sleep and wakeup by modem when call or SMS comes, it should be better. Since this particular processor is being used in a phone for the first time, it needs changes in driver.
