Purism Librem 14 v1

Remarks

Everything that was working on QubesOS R4.0 is working on QubesOS R4.1, and I am loving the update! I love that the Qui-Domains application now includes the option to open a file manager in any running qube. I love the new qube icons and the visual direction that QubesOS is going. And I love the immense speed improvements that I am experiencing (though that could be in part due to installing QubesOS R4.1 on a newer, faster, and larger SSD and leaving more empty space available on it). Where qubes would take up to 12 seconds to boot on my previous R4.0 installation on my older drive, qubes now boot in 3 to 5 seconds, and my Qubes Manager takes 1 to 2 seconds to load as opposed to the 30 seconds or more on my previous installation.

The only issue that I have seen is that there are visual glitches of the mouse cursor when moving it across a button or other item that causes the cursor to change appearance (such as the border of a window, in which the regular mouse cursor arrow becomes a window resize arrow). And there are also some visual glitches that others have mentioned when on the Luks decryption screen.

However, I need to make a correction on my original post at the top of this thread. When I tested that the headphone jack worked, I made a Signal call. I could hear the person on the other end, and they could hear me, so I concluded that everything was working as expected. Well it seems that I was wrong. The headphones were being used for audio output, but the laptop microphones were being used for audio input. And I have now seen posts like this:

Sorry for the error everyone. @Sven, could you correct my original post to replace this:

  • 3.5mm Headphone Jack (Output and Input)

with this:

  • 3.5mm Headphone Jack (Output and Input) ← Correction

Thank you.
