> 100% of the appeal for this phone is that you'll be able to run GNU/X11 on it.

That's 100% of the appeal to you, and there aren't enough of you to make Librem sustainable. I say this as someone who was a big fan of what the Nokia N900 and Moko Phone were trying to achieve.

Me, I'm looking for a phone that lets me live outside the Google/Apple ecosystem without reducing my choices to 720p screens and 1GB RAM. I installed Ubuntu on my laptop a few years ago out of curiosity and it was absurd how much configuration everything needed. Needing to open up a package manager to get something as simple as an MP3 Player app is not the UX you want your customers to have.
