Is it worth mentioning or promoting minifree.org in the same breath? "Linux/BSD preinstalled laptops with Libreboot BIOS replacement".

https://minifree.org/

They will sell you, among other things, a heavily modified Lenovo Thinkpad T480 with Linux or BSD pre-installed.

Proceeds fund libreboot development.

Short of checking their hardware support against a specific laptop model, I'd just say thinkpad is generally a safer bet than acer.

If you don't mind refurbished laptops, you can buy openbsd preinstalled... https://minifree.org/

I talked to @libreleah on the #minifree IRC and it turns out there isn't actually any HDMI audio through the miniDP++, according to the schematics there is no physical connection. So I can stop looking for a software solution.

But there's a way out! I'll find a dock for it. That will have working audio, I presume through a native HDMI connector.

Thank you Leah for the quick answer!
