I just noticed that I am using the #Purism #Librem5 now for 7 months now as my main device and since 6 months I don't carry a backup device with me anymore even for business trips I only used the Librem 5.

#LinuxPhone

@zwarf I've also been exclusively using one for over a year now. It's not a perfect experience by any means, but the hardware and OS/driver support is infinitely better than the pinephone I was using immediately prior to receiving it.

I can't really recommend the device to anybody except the most tech savvy Linux users and even then it can be a hard sell as it is more work to maintain than the alternatives. That said, I love Linux on mobile and don't ever plan to go back.

@leimon Yes, absolutely. Using the Librem 5 is still a lot of work and not trivial at all. My biggest issue is that it loses the mobile data connection way to often. For example during train rides or after waking up from suspend. But as you already said, I also don't plan to go back.
