A few points:

  1. LiberuxNexx sounds like a medication's marketing name.
  2. It says "2TB storage" then in the details it's actually 256GB + microSD support, which IMHO is very different.
  3. To me, this just sounds like a new version of the PinePhone Pro or Librem 5. Yes, it's got newer & better hardware, but there's no release date or even price.

What happened to librem anyway? They used to be all the rage, now it's nothing.

They’re still available for sale and they post development updates every month.

It’s just not a popular device.

With the first model costing 2K USD for a mediocre device (4GB RAM, 128GB storage) it's not surprising that they're not that popular. Their 700 USD model only has 3GB of RAM.

I want this to be good, but I agree with all these points, right down to the possibility that we may never even see this thing released.

No it doesn't, when have you ever taken LiberuxNexx two times daily? It sounds like some guy's username on X

It doesn't sound like a medication's marketing name, it sounds like the name of an open source project: a complete garbage fire.
