> You just have to keep in mind that you'll be paying over $400 for a keyboard that may arrive broken, and if it does you will have as close to no warranty as what's legally possible. PinePhone Pro vibes, except the PPP's problem isn't lack of QC; it's just lack of (FOSS) SW support. Pay 400 bucks, may need lots of tweaking/work to get it usable.

Basically everything pine64 ships has a. We dumped all software development and support on the foss community. Problem. And the hardware isn't even that open. I do still like their non locked in approach though. And the pinephone is still one of few truly Linux phones.
It's the most open, pretty sure... What other company is selling smartphones with schematics, datasheets, and ICs you're able to get independently from electronic component distributors? Even with Purism, maybe I'm looking wrong, but I don't see the schematics and datasheets of the Librem 5. Fairphone has some schematics, but its parts list is lacking, and the components it does show aren't generally available for purchase. For example, I don't see where I can buy Fairphone 5 chipset, a QCM6490, but I can buy a Pinephone Pro's RK3399. Same with its modem, same with its PMIC, same with its eMMC, etc. It's really a gem of open hardware that's been lost.
