> The Librem […] doesn't include basic functionality like calendars, calculators and notes.

From what I can see, this is untrue:

Calculator: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=esYJSNZrQWc

Notes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34XhhVlmYTU and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jEzRgjHaIZo

It would surprise me if there wasn’t a calendaring program in there, too

I'm getting the information directly from the Librem 5 product page[0]:

"Upon initial shipment of the Librem 5 in 2019, it will offer the essentials: phone functionality, email, messaging, voice, camera, browsing. Your user experience will improve as we incrementally add commonly requested applications and features (such as calendaring, notes, calculator, PDF viewer, etc.) while keeping performance in mind."

I think I recognize this text from when I read it early on; I would assume that this was written before the relevant Gnome programs (Calculator, Xournal, GEdit, etc.) had been ported to run sensibly on the Librem 5. They should probably update it.
