Breaking the phone you plan to demo with is always fun.

Fixing it, even more so!
Just need a keyboard and run 1 command.

2 hours to go https://debconf23.debconf.org/talks/61-the-year-of-linux-on-desktopwmobile/

I'm a bit concerned about the frequent power losses at the hotel though :D

I'll add image descriptions later, need to work on my slides :P
and need to go for a swim!

Edit: image descriptions have been added!

I wanted to show of multiple desktop environments and for that I had previously disabled the "phosh" systemd service. But I did forget that I would need to enable the greeter (using "phog", the "Phone Greeter"). The last couple of lines from the terminal: mobian@l5 ~ > $ sudo systemctl enable --now greetd [sudo] password for mobian My password is very secure and definitely not "1234" :)
The greeter started up, after having hit "enter" (see previous image). You can see a close up of the phone showing one user: "mobian" and there is a drop down selector at the bottom with "Phosh" (the Phone Shell). Other "desktop environments" in that list (which is not currently shown) include e.g. "sxmo", a variant of "sway" suitable touch input driven mobile phones!

The PPP is too weak for you?
What exactly do you plan to do with it?
For me, the primary issue is that the kernel is just not mature enough. To change that I would assume that it would take some serious dev work and mainlining to really become interesting to me. Of course YMMV , but if you don't care about any of that (and I'm not saying you do) I don't see why you wouldn't "simply" run sth on top of Android using libhybris, e.g.

I don't see PPP becoming a viable option any time soon.

OP6 is super interesting (no cameras yet, though).

> too expensive

it might suprise you to learn that
a) developers like to eat
b) lower order quantities means higher prices (if manufactures bother speaking to you at all)

@deedend

>In regards to the developers that like to eat, and the quantities that drive the price, it doesn't exclude the fact that 1000USD for the Librem 5 is disproportionated

So what you're saying is I shouldn't eat? Or should eat less?
(The last one is probably actually true)

Knowing full well that @purism
pretty much kickstarted this whole thing, lots of other distros/phones benefiting and arguably succeeded where e.g. Canonical has not?

E.g. the panel driver used on the PP (and perhaps PPP too - dunno) was written by @agx for the L5 devkit.
