I don't know about lineageOS, but the #Librem5 comes with #PureOS out of the box, supports #PostmarketOS and #mobian and it has a 3.5 mm jack.

For my web apps, I have liked the installed gnome-web. While the installed gnome-web crashes a lot, that doesn't seem to happen with the web apps.
I have one web app that requires firefox or chrome. For that one, I installed Brave.

@deedend @devrtz @purism I encourage everyone to try PureOS on the Librem 5 to judge daily usability of the Librem 5 and if it's "the time yet".
One shouldn't draw that conclusion by looking at other devices (running other distros).
A single missing one line line patch or broken driver can considerably mess up daily usability.
@agx @deedend @devrtz @purism
I have been daily driving mine since February of this year. Before that, I daily drove the PPP for a year and before that I daily drove the PP for a year.
The #Librem5 was a major step up in quality and usability from day one. I loved my pinephones, but I don't think that I could go back to them.

My biggest disappointment with the 11 is no hardware kill switches. I was looking at the 11, but now I think I will wait for the 16.
@kyle
Because of the post, I have decided that I need to learned how to darn.
Mostly, so that I can point to my work and say Josh darned it.
@kop316 @purism
I was having this discussion with a friend at work this morning.
She has a librem 14 that I convinced her to buy last year.
I have my librem 5.
We both agree that Purism support (and support from the open source community) is fantastic. I have never purchased an item with better support.
(Though, to be fair, I have also never needed as much support as we had to have with her 14.)

So my spouses iPhone has stopped receiving calls, and is seems that when she calls folks, it goes straight to voicemail. So naturally, I joined Apple's community Matrix channel and their devs helped to fix the problem.
No wait sorry, that's what I do with @purism when my #librem5 has issues (which for the record, it makes and receives calls/SMS/MMS just fine).
What will likely happen is a perfectly good phone goes in the trash because of some software bug.

It boggles my mind how the left side of the political aisle wants more government control, and greatly trusts the state, while the right wants the government to take a more hands-off approach in comparison, yet the right wingers are considered to be more fascist than left wingers.
Fascism requires three things: authoritarianism, trust in the state, and private sector cooperation in authoritarian measures. It's easier to find people who believe in all three on the left than on the right.

Our recent article about the Librem 5 noted that its new $999 price tag after a $300 price cut is still... a lot. But it looks like there is a slightly cheaper option: Purism is selling refurbished models of the Linux phone for $799. https://shop.puri.sm/shop/librem-5-refurbished/ #Librem5 #Purism #LinuxSmartphones #mobileLinux

If Trump were to be re-elected as President, would you be ok with him deciding whatv is hate speech and what is not?

The harm being done is that we're denying reality. And that's a slippery slope.
Embracing false reality to avoid hurting someone's feelings or confrontation is never the answer.
It's compassionate to tell the truth. That is what love is.

Librem 5 is now $999 (a $300 Savings)! Due primarily to the overwhelming demand for the Librem 5, we were able to lower our component costs and are now able to pass that savings onto new customers.

@JayLittle @omglinux
I will most definitely do business with purism again. My #Librem5 is the best phone that I have ever owned. Sure, I was frustrated by the long wait, but I also understand that when I pre-order a device that hasn't been built yet, I am taking a risk. It took longer than what I liked, but the risk was worth it.
And again, if you can receive the device that you pre-ordered, it is not a scam.
@JayLittle @omglinux
I was guessing that they only sold about 5000 phones, if the 600 is correct and is 10%, then they actually sold closer to 6000. Regardless, if you ordered a phone, then you can get the phone. That is not a scam. Yes, it took right at 4 years for me to receive mine. Yes, they, several times misrepresented how close they were to being ready. There are a lot of legitimate things that can be said about the Librem5, scam just isn't one of them.
@JayLittle @omglinux
I don't know where you got your 600 number from, however according to their website, if you have ordered a phone and have an order number, then the phone is ready to ship. You probably will not be able to get the refund, but you can definitely get the phone.
Poor customer service, absolutely. Scam, no.
@JayLittle @omglinux
Their phones weren't actually a scam, I am typing this from one. And thet seem to have learned a lesson from the phones because in the case of the tablet, there was never a pre-order option, they are available now.
