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 If you're thinking of trying out Linux, getting a second machine to play with and not using it for anything that your well-being depends on is a good way to go. Treat learning Linux as a hobby.

(I'm a long-time Linux user. Modern desktop Linux has gotten *very* good but it still requires you to know how to problem-solve. It doesn't (can't!) cater to you the way Windows or macOS does.)
