Discussion on Purism

In my opinion, this is completely unfair and harming to Qubes, but:

@michael

As for Purism, they don’t actually use the latest processors so certification would be technically possible, but our previous experience with them was bad and we won’t partner with them again for hardware certification – you can look at their reddit, user forums, Better Business Bureau, Trustpilot, etc to get an understanding of their priorities and values and how those manifest for their customers. and anyways they already partner with themselves for Qubes certification: hxxps://puri.sm/pages/best-qubes-laptop-is-the-secure-librem-14/

@TheGardner

Assume nobody (from Librem) did start an active cert process together with the QubesOS staff

They did.

@renehoj

I think they used to be certified, but they tried so sell models that wasn’t certified as certified, so certification was removed from all their models.
