get it together man. priorities. the value of an old phone stands up to forcing cash in meaningful directions? forget my wallet/welfare/bills, badd things have to stop at any cost.
When you show up, looking to do the legwork for a specific model, the community directs you to the donate button instead...
If Librem can keep their repos current? Im down to switch from a Lineage-deprecated phone.
Besides, a phone running a kernel that isn't 3 years old and terribly out of date? Vulnerable to Spectre, Rowhammer, and a host of other script-kiddie-hackable holes? So what if its "mine" for $200 less when it isnt mine and patched?
Apple did one thing well with iPhone that Android didnt - they kept themselves as a single point of accountability for how the phone runs, how it updates, how security patches get distributed.
A FLOSS phone needs to mimick that success.
Not as full-featured as Librem5 is, not as developmentally supported. But that's what the open source ecosystem is for, no?
