thanks for the correction, i don’t what i was thinking while writing that. i guess i couldn’t decide floating or stacking for wayfire so the whole thing broke down :)
stacking wm -> wayfire
tiling wm -> sway [corrected, i don’t know what was going through my mind]
terminal emulator -> alacritty or foot
it’s obscenely over priced and this cultist shit doesn’t make it any better. to me shift mq6 is miles better.
and i almost forgot, didn’t they try to pull “copying free software verbatim and slapping a different logo on it”? for a whole group of software?
My first point was “it’s obscenely overpriced”. So let’s dissect that:
That’s almost worse than my 2015 idol3 which has an octa-core CPU. And it’s freakin’ $1.299!!
On the other hand let’s look at Shift6MQ:
And it’s €577 (which makes $627) which is less than half of what Librem 5 goes for. Would you call Librem 5 overpriced now?
You somewhat agree with my third point but add that Purism develops software for mobile Linux (which I don’t deny) and say that running pmOS would be less useful without it (which I don’t agree). There’s Plasma Mobile, there’s SXMO (which I love the most) and lately even Gnome Mobile feels more snappy than Phosh. FOSS always finds a way.
Let’s talk about my second point. I said that “this cultist shit doesn’t make it any better” referring to the Louis Rossmann video. If you’ve ever watched the video, you would’ve seen that there’s a real person with a real problem and being stonewalled by Purism (which is not a singular incident by the way, I have seen numerous people saying the same shit). The thing you should’ve done would be to sympathize with that customer instead of coping for the company (if you’re not the person that wrote the e-mail, of course). But here you are debatelording with semantics. Not on its payroll? What the fuck does that even mean? Why would I care about who’s on whose payroll? I care about the community.
