After almost 2 years of daily driving #librem5 as my main phone I gave up.
Initially the battery lasted for a very short time (like few hours). But I could live with that. Recently this was greatly improved (it could last whole day), but still I kept it connected to a cable out of habit.
For a very long time I didn't try to use the sdcard slot, because I had no need for it. But when I finally tried, it turned out it doesn't work (purism forums has a bunch of topics on that, it's not an uncommon issue). But I could live with that.
The GPS receiver also does not work (see https://forums.puri.sm/t/librem-5-gps-location-tracking/14153/285). But I could live with that.
The tiny metal swing thingy you press with a needle to push out the sdcard and sim card tray broke off. But I could live with that.
Hard to tell exactly when, but my phone started to behave weirdly with cellular connection. I didn't receive SMS and calls. And there was no indication on the phone that something is wrong. And I could not live with that.

@etam using jumpdrive i have
been able to create whole disk images from the build in L5 memory, so when things have gone wrong the last few times software wise, a complete restore took only an hour or so (with all apps, settings, and data). The SDCard i always thought as a good feature to have for backup, but with jumpdrive that is obsoleted. Still essential for music, image, video storage. The notification for calls always have been hit or miss for me regarding audible alerts.
