I realize that yesterday it was exactly four years ago that I started the experiment to use the #Librem5 #Linux #phone as my daily phone.

I have been using it since then, and the software is being improved regularly and in a very transparent way.

Read here about the beginning of this experiment: https://janvlug.org/blog/one-week-librem-5-field-trial-day-1/

Would you be interested in a blog with an update of the current state of the Librem 5?

The upcoming release of #PureOS Crimson, the default #Linux operating system for @purism devices like the #Librem5 Linux phone got many stability improvements.

Only a few blockers for final release remaining.

Linux 7.0 has now been tagged, coming with 19 commits upstreamed from the Librem 5 tree - two by NXP and the rest by yours truly on behalf of @purism. Three more are already queued for 7.1.

While the mainline kernel still can't drive the display without extra patches, it's very close now 👀
