Whatever happened to the Qubes-Purism marriage? They were on track to start Qubes-certifying Librems, and selling Librems with Qubes pre-installed ... then they cancelled the plans, and I never heard why?

FWIW, it seems that when you buy a Purism laptop there is an option to include a Qubes live usb in the deal. I just came across it while skimming through their website[1], not sure about anything else.

Thanks. I know about that. They used to sell Librems that had Qubes pre-installed, and they were on-track to get Librems to be the first officially certified hardware for Qubes. Then they canceled the whole thing, and now, as some kind of consolation/compromise, they offer Qubes-on-a-stick purchase option.
