Welcome to Libreboot General Thread!
Beginners feel free to ask questions!

https://libreboot.org/
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libreboot

So /g/ why haven't you installed the only BIOS that actually respects your freedom, privacy, and human rights by using no proprietary firmware and disables the Intel (NSA backdoor) ME?

>inb4 the dev is a tranny
That's a red herring and has no bearing on the project
The dispute with GNU was resolved several months ago

>inb4 no compatible system
You can literally get a ThinkPad X200 for $50 on ebay

>inb4 no beaglebone/pi for external flashing
You can get an X60 for internal flashing or use a Libreboot flashing service on ebay for X200/T400

>inb4 that hardware is ancient
An X200 will pretty much do anything besides "muh gaymin" plus there are some descent mobo's that support Libreboot for a desktop system (see the wiki page)

Tips on librebooting with an Odroid C2?

When the project leader sperged out at GNU, I completely lost interest. So unprofessional.
>>
Recently sent out a T400 to be librebooted. Excited to get it back soon.
>>
>>62290554
It's non distro specific
>>
>>62290683
That's awesome, you'll enjoy it! Was it the fellow on ebay?
>>
>>62290554
The pic is perfect
>BSD
Your opinion is shit
>>
>>62290716

A friend across the country actually, but I this fellow on eBay and his prices are pretty modest.

I'm thinking about getting a 3G WWAN card for my T400-- would libreboot affect its compatibility with cards normally support by stock T400's?
>>
>>62290754
That's an interesting question, I have some 3G cards laying around, I should try that out. My guess is it might work but you'd need to run the kernel with nonfree firmware in it for the driver.
>>
>>62290692
You're telling me Windows 7, 10 isn't distro specific? Fuck off.
>>
>>62290415
I've flashed stock firmware over libreboot on a laptop no more than two hours ago.
Libreboot, not even once. Don't fall for the meme.
>>
>>62290742
How is mac better than windows? The ONLY potential benefit of mac is that it's unix based. But the rest of the pros that windows has outweighs mac.
>>
What do I need to buy to libreboot an X220? I already have an ancient raspberry pi somewhere

Also in a similar vein to removing ME, can/should I do something about the vPro shit and stuff? Or does that get taken care of when ME is removed
>>
>>62290805
>windows
>distros
Get the fuck out. 7 and 10 are the 2 main Windows OS right now along with OS X for mac.
>>
>>62290835
X220 won't be libreboot compatible until late 2017 or early 2018
>>
>>62290836
Actually it's called "MacOS" now.
>>
>>62290826
macOS is more open/libre than Windows.

Out.
>>
>>62290849
What about coreboot then
>>
>>62290835
If that rasberryPI is a model with GPIO pins, you can use that,

https://libreboot.org/docs/install/rpi_setup.html

Currently only use Libreboot on my T400, but the lack of Virtual machine acceleration (and odd VM crashes) is annoying, but that said I'm on an old version.

Putting Libreboot on m X220 has been on my to do list for a while now....

>GNU plus Linux without systemd

>>62290784

Interesting. If you ever get the time to test it out, I'd be more than happy to know the results!

>>62290908
I believe so

Is there an equivalent to removing ME for AMD CPUs?
>>
>>62291219
I'm not as familiar with AMD but I believe you have to use pre 2012 AMD CPU's before the PSP was introduced.
>>
>>62290908
I'd just wait the six months, it will be here soon

You made me go to /lgbt/ again.
I had a great laugh, thanks.
