With our sights set on the beta release milestone, one key component still remains: a way to upgrade from Byzantium to Crimson.
If you’re a GNU/Linux expert, you might already know how Debian handles release upgrades. Some eager individuals have already upgraded from Byzantium to the Crimson alpha this way. However, we need an easy, graphical upgrade procedure, so everyone with a Librem 5 can get the improvements coming in Crimson.
When we released PureOS Byzantium back in 2021, it didn’t have any graphical upgrade process from Amber. Our instructions to upgrade were based on a typical path through Debian’s instructions. While that method is sufficient for GNU/Linux experts, Purism’s Librem products are for everyone. We believe that all people, from experts to novices, deserve the privacy, security, and liberty that we enable with PureOS and Librem products.
