@janvlug@mastodon.social How is the PWA support? Can you install PWAs? How's the battery? Is receiving phone calls and SMS reliable? How often do you need to reboot it? I've a Librem 5 in the drawer and don't feel like taking it out ever again. It's too hot all the time: 34 °C.

@codo@fosstodon.org I do not use PWA's myself, but I know that there is some work being done in this area: https://source.puri.sm/search?search=pwa&nav_source=navbar&group_id=22032&scope=issues The battery is enough for me, I charge the #Librem5 usually whenever I have the possibility, so I cannot give details. It is way less than modern Android or Apple phones though. I use suspend. Phone calls and SMS is reliable for me. I live in the Netherlands. Maybe it woud be interesting to give your Librem 5 another try: https://docs.puri.sm/Hardware/Librem_5/Maintenance/Reflashing.html Make sure to flash Crimson.

@codo@fosstodon.org @janvlug@mastodon.social You can easily turn any website into a webapp, whether it's defined as a PWA or not. Pic related. Battery, in my experience: 4-5 hours of active use; 12-14 hours of idling without sleeping; 22-24 hours in system suspend where it wakes up from calls and SMS. Calls and SMS have been reliable for me here in Poland, but it's always subject to carrier compatibility now with VoLTE. In general there's no need to reboot at all unless updating or working on the kernel.
