Yep, I was looking at the Liberty and also the tablet; I don't really care about the pricing (which is pretty mental, but for the good cause), however the specs are, well, not great for a linux machine that can actually do something. Especially the memory. It would be my daily driver (plugin to a monitor or xreal glasses) if it had 12 gb, but 4gb... that's not really a thing. I use my s24 for mostly everything and would love to move to something like this as I don't really like samsung (or android) that much, but let's up the memory eh.
Like everywhere, memory is still what holds things back; I would pay $3k for the Liberty if it had 12-24gb, but he.
- fsflover 2y ago4 GB is indeed quite limiting, but it was the only choice supporting free drivers at that time. Even with such low amount of RAM you can use it as desktop though: https://puri.sm/posts/my-first-year-of-librem-5-convergence/ https://puri.sm/posts/my-first-year-of-librem-5-convergence/ See also: https://puri.sm/posts/the-danger-of-focusing-on-specs/ https://puri.sm/posts/the-danger-of-focusing-on-specs/
- anonzzzies 2y agoI agree with all of it, but the reality is that I need more memory and I understand that not many people (well, the author of the article you sent for one) are looking for this convergence. But I am. Especially with AI , it is becoming less and less a requirement for me to carry a laptop: it will be a combination of talking and typing to do whatever I need to do. With native linux I can already do that, without, it quite a pain for on phones. Or at least too much work for something that only I am going to use. But we will get there; guess the next one will be better.
