-------------------------------------------- Purism 13 2018.02.25 21:39:13 CET -------------------------------------------- The delivery I expected last Monday was late - USPS was very optimistic about their capabilities and Monday the package was still in NYC. But it arrived on Thursday and I had since then a great time setting up my brand new Librem 13v2 from Purism. It's been a while since running a Linux distro and this time, I decided to be more conservative with how much time to dedicate configuring and building my machine. So instead of running Arch or Slackware (which were my favorite distros), I decided to keep the distribution by Purism itself, PureOS. The distro is Debian based, which I use at work, so I'm already familiar with it. The documentation online is pretty good and you quickly learn how to adapt Debian and Ubuntu specific documentation to PureOS needs. The machine itself is great. It took some time to get used to the touchpad and keyboard, but that's my experience every time I switch hardware manufacturers. Everything works out of the box - as I would expect with PureOS and so far I love the machine - and I love being back on a Linux laptop. The only problem I had so far is with overheating. The machine powers itself off when the CPU temperature sensors go above 100C. While encrypting my backup, this happened a couple of times which was frustrating. I had to install thermald and place a configuration to down-step the CPU frequency whenever the temperature raised above 85C. Although this means a slower CPU, when under heavy loads, I prefer this to having random power offs. Looking online, I didn't find anyone else describing this problem with the Librem 13v2, so I'll definitely mail the Purism folks and let them know about it. So far, I recommend this machine!
