Leah Rowe ist kein RoweboterAug 30, 2025

I'm the owner of Minifree Ltd: https://minifree.org/

Minifree sells Libreboot computers to fund development of Libreboot; I'm Libreboot's founder and lead developer.

#libreboot is a free software project, replacing the proprietary BIOS/UEFI firmware on supported computers. It offers many security and performance benefits compared to most proprietary firmware, and it's highly configurable.

Your choice of Debian Linux, other distro or BSD.

tl;dr I sell Libreboot, and Libreboot accessories.

Do you use Linux?
I've toyed with the idea of moving to a Linux Distro instead of Windows, and these machines sound decent and a price worth experimenting with. But I'm put off by how difficult Linux sounds to use for noobs.

@theaardvark @neonbubble installing Linux is as easy as clicking through a half dozen screens and selecting items such as what username/password you want, what local time, type of keyboard...

You can try Linux in a USB stick (download the image, copy to a USB stick, enable USB booting n computer boot menu, usually a Function key)

See video (Linux Mint 22.x)

Good luck with freeing your computer, and yourself!

@theaardvark the guy drones on about getting online. Skip the hemming and hawing. Find a way to copy ISO to USB or a DVD, boot, then either plug a ethernet cable or connect to your wifi. There, saved you 5-7min of droning =D
