Hey @mntmn does the #mntreform laptop's have a free bootloader like #libreboot?
lol you can tell just from the cursor, right?
Lots of OSes don't care for #LibreBoot's VGA emulation, it seems. :/
Anyone managed to any of the #Fedora #AtomicDesktop distros booting on #LibreBoot yet? I can boot it fine if I explicitly choose the NVME drive but the "normal" boot process doesn't find Fedora's bootloader. The Fedora specific instructions on the Libreboot website don't seem to apply to #Atomic versions.

I use RYF-Certified Hardware. What is it really like?

@libreleah hey, how you doin ... question about #libreboot here

I have a minifree x200 and I've always had trouble nailing the correct distro to install. I just went along with whatever config (grub, root partition format...) the installer of trisquel/devuan would work. Up until recently

I'm not sure where to look at, but I'm a CS longtimer willing to learn. It _seems_ that libreboot is not recognizing the root-and-also-boot partition format, though it recognizes my separate /home xfs partition as such

RE: https://chaos.social/@sleepyowl/116126002122086149

This is such a good thread, but of all the replies and quote toots, no one has mentioned #coreboot #libreboot

Of course there are very old and limited number of boards that can run these, and i'm wondering if this could give a boost to more boards being supported.

A fine night for watching scary YouTube videos and updating #Libreboot on some laptops.

@libreleah,

Just curious, what's the status of #LibreBoot with regard to battery thresholds?

I recall on my X200, tp-smapi wasn't supported. Has that changed on newer machines?

Thanks!

If you are looking for someone to help with #libreboot installation, and you live in the US, let me recommend Libervaro: https://www.ebay.com/usr/libervaro

You mail in your laptop, and the company will do an external flash of the latest Libreboot update. The customer service is superb, and the service is quick.

I used their services to un-brick my ThinkPad T60. The whole thing took about a week, and I received a lot of communication through the process.
