Purism is planning on fixing that[1]. The funny thing is that we've actually reverted backwards, you could install a Debian-based distro on the Nokia N900 -- not really possible on newer phones (though you do have stuff like Ubuntu Phone).

- codetrotter 9y agoSpeaking of Ubuntu Touch (aka Ubuntu Phone), it should be noted that though Canonical shut down support for it, a community of people calling themselves UBports are keeping the project alive. I recently bought a Nexus 5 for the purpose of running Ubuntu Touch. It arrived yesterday and I look forward to try Ubuntu Touch on it.

- kqr 9y agoI miss my N900 so much and for so many reasons. Unfortunately all of mine had abysmal build quality and fell apart after a few months. A friend of mine kept repairing his for many years -- maybe he still uses it. But a huge part of why I liked the N900 was the physical keyboard. What is the puri.sm stance on that?
