Same here. I still have high hopes for the Purism Librem 11[1]. I really like the tablet form factor, but every option so far seemed rather "meh" to me.

I'm looking for a real computing device and don't want to be confined to "toy operating systems" - the option for touch-optimized apps is nice, but unless there is a viable way to use desktop- (and especially terminal-)focused software without hacks I don't really see the long-term appeal.

Purism seem to essentially sell exactly what I'm looking for; plus: There are camera and mic kill switches, which to me seems like something that should've been the default ten years ago...
