@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.

@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 source.puri.sm/Librem5/millipi (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.

@williamtries
More nitpicks:
Regarding the smart card reader firmware, Purism posted a guide to update that: puri.sm/posts/openpgp-in-your-

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.

@linmob

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.

@williamtries@fosstodon.org

@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.

Follow

@linmob of course, but if you got one in the last couple of years you should not need it.
