lol. Just lol.

Edit: For those unaware.

"It’s also worth noting that plenty of Purism users have reported that they haven’t received the company’s previous Librem 5 phone, several years after ordering it. That phone first started shipping in 2020, while users report that Purism isn’t honoring refunds for these delayed orders or that the company is dragging its feet in this regard. So if it looks fishy and smells fishy, well, it must be a fish."

I refunded my librem preorder when it started smelling fishy and they did it quickly and hassle free, luckily.

I bought the pmOS edition of the pinephone instead for half the price. It hasn't really held up as a daily driver, due to its specs, but I still tinker with it.

I always chuckle whenever I hear people earnestly recommend Pine Phone, or Librem, to other users as daily drivers.

Tinker? Sure, absolutely. But daily use? lol, no.

I look forward to someday daily driving a purpose built Linux phone, but that day isn't here, yet.

Until then, deal with Graphene, or get an Android that supports pmOS. Just understand the real security implications and risks associated with the later.
