Apparently the Librem 5 has been making a lot of progress on being usable, but there's still a long delay between placing an order and getting it.

I'd love to get a linux phone but the librem wait time seems to be at least a year (that blogger said he'd been waiting since 2018) and the librem5 is $1200. I can't really justify spending that much on a phone.
There appears to be an inverse relationship between cost and delivery delay. I paid around $650, but I had to wait four years :-) It's worth it though. If you can afford it, I recommend ordering now to get your place in line. The software will be better then at least.
