We are living in an age where everything from clothing to furniture to technology is cheap and disposable. The assumption is that nothing lasts, so one might as well buy the cheapest thing and throw it away when it inevitably breaks. Nowhere is this more true than the phone market, but it's something we want to change with the Librem 5.

@kyle I am reading the article now, on my laptop from 2013/12 that runs absolutely beautifully with Artix Linux. Can I render content in the blink of an eye? No. Do I have software which lets me get everything I need done? Absolutely, and I can do it quickly. Thanks to the power of GNU/Linux. I think this is the kind of mentality that should be enforced in all technologies.
