After almost 2 years of daily driving #librem5 as my main phone I gave up.
Initially the battery lasted for a very short time (like few hours). But I could live with that. Recently this was greatly improved (it could last whole day), but still I kept it connected to a cable out of habit.
For a very long time I didn't try to use the sdcard slot, because I had no need for it. But when I finally tried, it turned out it doesn't work (purism forums has a bunch of topics on that, it's not an uncommon issue). But I could live with that.
The GPS receiver also does not work (see https://forums.puri.sm/t/librem-5-gps-location-tracking/14153/285). But I could live with that.
The tiny metal swing thingy you press with a needle to push out the sdcard and sim card tray broke off. But I could live with that.
Hard to tell exactly when, but my phone started to behave weirdly with cellular connection. I didn't receive SMS and calls. And there was no indication on the phone that something is wrong. And I could not live with that.
