    Spotlight on the Restricted Boot Option on Librem 14

Most Big Tech efforts to secure the boot process give the vendor control 
over what software you are allowed to boot on your laptop, with keys 
they control.

Purism has released Pureboot version 23 
<https://source.puri.sm/firmware/releases/-/blob/master/changelog.md#pureboot-release-23>. 
It offers a new high-security feature called /Restricted Boot/. By 
default PureBoot will allow you to boot any USB disk you choose, and 
offers a failsafe boot mode so you can boot into your system even if 
signatures don't match. Restricted Boot tightens down boot security so 
you can only boot trusted, signed boot images.

Let's see how you tighten down your boot security with Restricted 
PureBoot in this detailed video and blog post

    How to Hardware Flash your Librem 14 Boot Firmware

While we design PureBoot's defaults 
<https://docs.puri.sm/PureBoot/GettingStarted.html> to meet most 
people's needs, you can also create your own version with custom 
features, pre-approved USB keys.

You can flash your custom PureBoot using the built-in menu. If your 
custom build has an issue, you can recover from bugs that stop the boot 
firmware from loading on your Librem 14 by hardware flashing the BIOS 
with a chip flasher. We show you how to unbrick your Librem 14 with the 
help of a step-by-step video and blog post <

    Purism at "Le Capitole du Libre" in France

This year we supported the French Free Software event "Le Capitole du 
Libre <https://capitoledulibre.org/>" in the city of Toulouse.

We shared our philosophy about making computer devices that respect 
people's digital rights to privacy, security and freedom. We also 
demonstrated the Librem 14 <https://puri.sm/products/librem-14/> as a 
powerful laptop with its 12 threads CPU and maxed out 64 GB of RAM. Next 
to the Librem 14, we had a couple of Librem 5 demo devices along with a 
dock that was attached to a mouse, a keyboard, and an external 32-inch 
monitor. People could try the laptop and the phones at the booth.

Get a detailed insight into our team's experience at the event here
