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.

Can you boot to a shell without starting GNOME?

I wouldn't rule it out but I don't know how to. I guess you would need a keyboard connected via USB to be able to input in that scenario

Wouldn't you just disable the display server like any other Linux OS? I'm sure they're using systems, so it just just be:

> sudo systemctl disable phosh.service

Or something like that. I'm sure it would be pretty easy with a bit of fiddling. However, you're right that you'd probably need a keyboard plugged in because the default TTY probably doesn't have a soft keyboard.

I use a Logitech K780 bluetooth keyboard when working on my phone, I got it mostly because of the nice phone/tablet standing slot, so there is that option as well.
