Sidenote: I got my Librem 5 in the mail yesterday! Below is a video of unboxing.

This prototype version is definitely not ready for mass market due to (1) known overheating issue (so far I've observed it get quite warm sometimes, but not uncomfortably hot), (2) a bunch little software things to work on. But it's really exciting to be able to `ls` and `cd` and `ssh` on a phone, and know that the software updates are coming.

Purism's accomplishment already is pretty incredible on both a hardware and software level. For me, well worth the price. Congrats to them even if there is a ways to go yet.

Good to see that backers are starting to receive theirs. I know there was some previous controversy over them only shipping to Purism employees.
