Thank you for the question. Librem 5 Fir is in active development. Customers who have waited for this release will receive what is essentially a Librem 5 version 2. We thank all Fir customers for their support and patience for all this time.

Lesson learned: Going forward, Purism is unlikely to accept crowdfunding or pre-orders for >N+1 hardware versions due to such a significant number of unknown factors, especially given current market volatility.

Vulnerabilities in old shims break UEFI Secure Boot yet again. This is exactly why Purism uses PureBoot instead:

@okias @agx @pine64 Mobile Linux benefits from many angles. We invest heavily in the Librem 5 with ongoing hardware/software R&D and upstream contributions. A Librem 5 v2 is in the works.

PINE64 has also been instrumental in making mobile Linux hardware more accessible. Their community has driven significant interest, too; in fact, our CTO joined Purism after using a PP/PPP and getting more involved.

Mobile Linux needs both: serious R&D and hardware that more people can experiment with.

#BMW is displaying in-car commercials and calling it a "treat." Proprietary software always abuses you - it's not "if," it's "when."

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.
