It doesn’t impact the contents of your drive but I would certainly back everything up and be prepared to start from scratch. When I did it I had to get a programmer, disassemble the computer, and hook up wires straight to the coprocessor. Not for the faint of heart
My ThinkPad T-480 running Linux Mint, my beloved ❤️❤️❤️
Dang, one of the few that can run free firmware. Put libreboot on that thing! If you haven’t already
I haven’t, but I’ve been heavily considering it
I’ve done one before, it was an involved process but doable with the right tools. I think it’s easier on the T480s than the older thinkpads though
Is there a way to install LibreBoot, without screwing up my main Linux Mint install? Or would I have to back up my shit, and reinstall from scratch?
