For the longest time, I thought you couldn’t boot Windows on Libreboot.

    I wish more laptops had the option for Libreboot or Coreboot. I’m so tired of the monopoly proprietary firmware vendors have.

      Its because its not as simple as just freely supporting it. Frameworks CEO talks about it in a podcast on yhe idea if they fully went behind coreboot, the hardware release cycle would at least be a generation behind, and if youre a fledgling business whose main focus is environment, repair and upgradibility first, that would likely end in the bankruptcy of your business.

      +1 for this. My tech hope in 2024 is… “RISC-V has reach the perfect system for consumer level” like I installed Debian on my thinkpad laptop, without any error…

      I think part of the problem is that all of the modern hardware is a black box on some level or another.

      On a side note, t440p’s {core,libre}boot is not completely foss, they still use a proprietary blob for mrc (at least AFAIK). Yet it’s still way better than other options
