I don't think purism have any intention of breaking out of the foss geek circle, and I don't think they need to. It's the same situation with their laptops really, they're more expensive and worse performing than the big players but enough people buy them to sustain the company.

and that is exactly the problem. None of them sticks arround long enugh so that us geeks culd sitck with them. Basically, every time I was changing the phone in last 10+ years I was also changing the platform.

With hope thet the next one would be IT. And guess what....

Bottom line is, all that cost money. So unless some huge corporation comes up as a sponsor of other people dreams they have to make money in the end. Somehow.
