Shady company.
You’ve posted the same comment in all three threads but offered no evidence.
Yet lots of people upvoted them. Probably because many people here bought devices from them and were extremely disappointed.
The communities opinion of Purism is low for a reason, our collective experiences.
Can you please elaborate on that? I thought purism is the hyped Linux brand
Was.
Some people STILL haven’t gotten their Librem phones after 5 years, and the few that have weren’t impressed by the phone’s quality, both on the hardware and software side. Purism has also refused to hand out refunds, and the CEO has been acting suspicious.
Right now, you’d be better off buying a Google Pixel and installing GrapheneOS.

This company is a complete sham. This is their last attempt to stay alive.
Oh wow! Now they’ll have to make sure their shareholders are profiting and happy keeping them in mind for all decisions. No worries though, they gave ‘us’ first shot at it! So If some massive multimillion dollar company who’s sole motivation is profit comes in and buys more than we could ever really it’s our fault for being poor.
What a non-scummy way to announce a public offering. Stating that we, the good people, can give them more free money while they take upward of 5 years to deliver something you may not even find valuable at that time. Will we be able to upgrade our shares in four years in order to get the updated version by paying more under vague threats that we’ll recieve nothing if we don’t pay up? I wonder if it’ll include a bunch of proprietary firmware and software when it releases even though we all payed for a fully FOSS product? When we try to sell the share will they say “sorry, we’ve updated our policy, you aren’t allowed to get your money back”?
Thats a harsh read. Whew. But I can see that playing out exactly like you said. How is one even supposed to keep going in this corpo hellhole of a planet?
Purism has always been more interested in profit than quality and customer care. They suck.
