A piece of Librem5 on my MNT Reform2

Despite my frequent ranting at Purism - don't take me wrong, I fully appreciate what they are doing. I just didn't like their communication strategy. Which finally improved and entered a state where I can say - yea ok, I understand. Other than that - their work at GTK/Gnome (libhandy which is now libadwaita, phosh/phoc, various userspace apps) is enormous, their effort at mainlining imx8m is impressive, all together allow me now using pinephone and MNT Reform2 laptop. This article is a demonstration of how the effort in kernel helps on MNT Reform.

Pine Phone

Yes, you read it correct, we're still speaking about pinephone. Librem5 is still out there. Not in here. Regardless, Pine64 started selling CE upgrade for the braveheart and as soon as I figured that I decided to upgrade one of mine pine phones with 3GB. The upgrade is delievered as a new mainboard and for braveheart owners there's a discount. This week the board finally arrived to my post-office and they decided it's too big for them to deliver it (they always do it regardless of the size and weight, that's the way they work).

Linux Phone

Aeons ago I've ordered a phone. A Librem Phone. Librem5 to be precise. It was all well forgotten history when all of a sudden last spring I got notification it has been delayed.

After that glorious event I've started monitoring the progress of the almost finishing development with greater interest which also led me to know there appered to be another project promising to deliver mainline linux phone in about half a year. The price tag was ridiculously low (comparing to L5) so I just gave it a shot - just in case.

Now last week you can imagine the degree of my bewilderment when I've received sealed envelop stating the customs office awaits for my decision on how to proceed with some electronic shipment to me, which clearly need tax clearance (if I want to proceed with the shipment).
