I asked a PureOS developer about potential regressions. They said YouTube used to be much snappier in Epiphany on PureOS Crimson, too - that something must have changed server-side at some point.

This Independence Day, celebrate freedom with more than words. Celebrate 250 years of American independence with a phone designed to place digital sovereignty back into your hands.

Get $250 off the Liberty Phone featuring Made-in-USA Electronics and transparency of both its hardware and software. If you believe independence should extend to the device in your pocket, this is the moment to make the switch!

@diederickdevries

It is fantastic that you found something that works for both of your needs!

@zwarf

Which application do you use to watch YouTube videos? The native web browser? Several of our staff recommend @FreeTube which offers both native .deb packages and Flatpak versions!

@DarkWolf @janvlug

Thank you for checking it out! We feel the pain of recent component price inflation as well. As component prices may reduce over time, the cost of our hardware will follow.

@bloodaxe

Thank you very much - that means the world to us! As for any past tensions within the community, we're still working diligently to make things right with everyone, as quickly as we can. No one is forgotten.

@aspragg

Yes, we are also coordinating logistics and legal requirements with an EU-based Purism branch location. The ultimate goal is just as you described - to reduce shipping/customs costs and RMA delays. Stay tuned!

@aspragg

Hello! Thanks for your interest and all the great questions!

It's true that AI and its effect on component pricing has vastly inflated product costs; as prices reduce over time, you'll see Purism products reduce in price as well.

Non-US keyboard layouts are on our minds but simply did not make the initial Librem 16 manufacturing run. We'll be investigating options to offer these in the future, however. The same is true for the Librem 14 version 2.

The Librem 16 is here! Your new privacy-focused powerhouse is ready to ship! 🚀

Our flagship laptop features a stunning 16" display, updated specs, and PureOS Crimson for unmatched security.

Base, Plus, or Max: pick your perfect config, or custom-build your dream machine!

Have you wondered that your iPhone might not be as private as you think? A recent article from Wired confirms what we've been saying all along: Apple's closed ecosystem, while secure in some ways, fails to protect your privacy at scale.
