PureBoot Basic¶
PureBoot Basic lets you optionally disable the tamper detection, leaving you with a clean, simple, and still powerful boot firmware with more recovery options than a traditional coreboot BIOS and GRUB.
Enable Pureboot Basic¶
A recent version of Pureboot but be installed to proceed with the following instructions. Follow this guide to switch to PureBoot Basic or upgrade PureBoot.
Navigate to: Options -> Change Configuration Settings -> Enable PureBoot Basic Mode.
Select Save the current configuration to the running BIOS to save the configuration file.
Once your computer reboots, you can enjoy a quick startup and still have powerful tools like grub config parsing, ext4 boot partition support, and a built-in Linux shell for advanced debugging.
Revert to PureBoot Basic¶
Since November 2023, Purism ships PureBoot on all Librem computers, defaulting to Basic mode for devices shipped without a Librem Key.
To revert to PureBoot Basic, enable Basic mode in Configuration Settings.
