Well this feels like a sign, I’ve been looking around at Libreboot compatible machines all day, seriously considering just ordering a Lenovo T480 from Leah.
What machine did you go with if you don’t mind my asking?
It’s just that as it stands Libreboot seems like one heck of a tradeoff. I would love to run it, but I also love modern hardware, performance and feature wise that is.
Do I need the newest hardware? No. Do I need Libreboot? No. Do I want both anyways? Well, I’d want an entire desktop in the size and power efficiency of a laptop, I want it all.I went with the T480 since I wanted a laptop that can also run Qubes OS.
This is the first time I’ve heard of libreboot and I just bought a T490
Here is their list of supported devices:
This is neat, but I’m seeing most devices are 10+ years old - is there a reason for this?
Intel bootguard
The hardware is probably more well known.
Cool, thanks for the info!
You know, I’ve always been curious about this. Has anyone managed to correlate any outbound traffic to Intel’s IME?
Interesting. TIL https://minifree.org/
How is using Intel a privacy concern? /genq
You don’t know what their proprietary code is doing and that the Trump regime has 10% ownership of the company now.
Oh, that’s very concerning, too bad my device doesn’t support libreboot. :(
Check if it has Coreboot the next best thing.
My Chromebook uses coreboot.
So AMD CPU:s are not a concern then?
Gotta keep the business private from controlling Republicans and Creepy Mark Carney.
