We are often asked, why does the Librem 5 cost that much? Because we are "Breaking Ground" https://puri.sm/posts/breaking-ground/ https://youtu.be/IQIxr5qcasQ
When you order a #Librem5 you get a #Linux desktop in your pocket and support an #EthicalTech future where our #privacy and data aren't exploited by #BiGTech for profit https://puri.sm/products/librem-5/ #security
I'd like to take a moment to give a shout out to @purism for all their great work. β€οΈ you guys.

I love this post:
"When we first approached hardware manufacturers almost two years ago with this project most of them instantly said βNo, sorry, impossible, we can not help you.β. Others warned us, that it could never work, that it was too complicated, βthe industry does not do thatβ and so forth.
And yet here we are, later than we wanted, but we are actually shipping first hardware! It is possible but it comes at a price." #Librem5
