Installing PureOS without Disk Encryption is Broken?

Software PureOS
1

Installing PureOS from live image on x86 machine. Whenever I try to de-select the option to encrypt the disk in the installer, I cannot go to the next step and install PureOS to disk. Am I supposed to be able to install PureOS without encryption? Or is this a bug in the installer?

I assume it is a bug, not a feature.

Hi,

In the PureOS installer, if you are unable to proceed with the installation when you deselect the option to encrypt the disk, it could be due to a couple of reasons.

You must check system requirements- ensure that your x86 machine meets the minimum system requirements for PureOS. While encryption shouldn’t be a requirement for installation, it’s possible that there might be hardware or configuration issues causing this behavior.

Thanks

This issue sounds very similar to what you are experiencing: ⚓ T800 Fix checkbox behavior in Calamares at the passphrase stage

This is still broken in Byzantium 10.3. Any news on when it would be fixed? Or a new installer made available?

There is a Crimson image if you want to try that instead:

Cheers, FranklyFlawless. I appreciate your answers a lot.
I have been reading some funky things about Crimson not being v stable, so was avoiding it, but I will try that next.
