So PureOS 11 (crimson) on Librem 5 has become daily driveable, as evidenced by me upgrading the system of my daily driver to it and not having much to complain about. From oldoldstable to oldstable - heading towards modernity one step at a time ๐Ÿ˜‚

@dos Good to hear! Iโ€™m still reluctant to go that route as Iโ€™ve heard that upgrading from Crimson alpha to the upcoming stable Crimson release might require a clean install.

@claudi I don't remember what the state of the images marked as "alpha" was, but I don't expect any upgradability issues in images generated from the current repos. Also, I performed an upgrade from Byzantium - the last time I flashed this phone was in early 2021, I'm not a fan of reinstalling from scratch ๐Ÿ˜œ

@Satiah Being able to have a Linux phone is a goal that had been achieved many years ago already. Now it's all about making it even better ๐Ÿ˜‰

@dos Can you point me to a Linux phone then that I can do all the phone things reliably with? I'm no stranger to unlocking bootloaders and flashing ROMs. Linux is the only system I use.

@Satiah I'm using a Librem 5 and it's been reliable for phone things here. I have no real experience with other contemporary devices, so others would have to chime in for more recommendations.

@dos How is it with your phone? What distro do you have? Can you have a somewhat recent Plasma Mobile?๐Ÿ™‚
