/lgbt/ Libreboot General Thread

Quite a lot of effort to go to considering I don't have CP.

Models T400/T500 can be upgraded with a T9900 processor.

Also some anon said X220 model might be available near the end of the year.

>>62369095
Yes, it will be. That's word I got from Leah.

Is there libre for the x220 yet?
Aka i5 uhhh Sandy bridge (I think, posting from phone)

>>62369232
End of the year is the expected ETA

>>62368719
have already librebooted a x200 and T500 and they are awesome.
would recommend it to everyone

>>62369255
Hi five anon :D glad you're in the libreboot club

Still waiting for an Odroid flashing guide, or a comparative at least

What about T60?

Can you flash the T420 internally? Probably not, right?

I'll never use Libreboot because of the dev.

>>62371389
You are SJW yourself

>>62369095
T9900 isn't worth it, everywhere I look it's too damn expensive

That's what I get for being a German, but X9100 are cheap tho

>>62371413
I never said anything about the dev being an SJW; I merely stated that I won't use Libreboot because of the dev. I said nothing about my motives.

>>62371201
possible as long as it has a supported screen and as long as it isnt one with an ATI GPU check libreboot.org

If you do research, Libreboot on any i-series device is impossible without major hardware modifications and reverse-engineering. The "pre-order" of X220's was a ploy to obtain money that would go toward the project, or perhaps someone's own finances. People who wasted their money on that venture can either receive a refund, or a legitimate Libreboot device. Information on why a X220 Libreboot port being an impossibility is listed on the Libreboot website (Pic related), so I don't understand why people keep spreading this rumor.

By the way, Leah, the person who operates Minifree, and was previously the head of the project, has zero skills in hardware modification. The person who would be modifying and selling a device running this X220 port has no idea how to do anything related to hardware modification. Yes, really.

>>62371456
They don't work with Libreboot, unfortunately.

>>62373483
You realize you're citing the current Libreboot FAQ? That section will be modified once they have the X220 ready at the end of the year.

>>62373787
If you knew the way Intel has implemented the ME into their hardware, you would realize that the documentation needs no updating. I hope you aren't basing your assumptions on recent published discoveries involving the ME's configuration.

Anyone using C201 with GNU/Linux? How is it?

>>62374067
I'm basing my """assumption""" on a recent conversation I had with Leah. You have no idea what you're talking about.

>>62374223
I'm basing my knowledge on facts and conversations with people who actually know what they're doing among the Libreboot project, and aren't mentally ill to the extent that they have to pretend they're not what they actually are, as well as plunge a project as important as Libreboot into a laughingstock among the Free Software movement. Please do realize that Leah no longer speaks for the project, his actions are only for his financial gain, and you're a fool to trust what he has to say. It's a wonder he's even allowed to further contribute to the project.

Do you have any proof to back this up? Because I've got multiple sources saying that the ignition firmware will be disabled. I realize that Leah stepped down as lead dev, but as far as I know she's still on the project. Also, why are you not using her preferred pronoun?

>>62374564
youre like a nigger on a unicycle

>>62374564
The evidence is there, I've already stated my reasoning. Nothing is impossible, and if there's enough demand something will come on the front of a X220 port. However, given the people currently at the front of the project, that outcome is very unlikely in the near future. Or ever, honestly. Just don't be too surprised when these promises you keep hearing aren't fulfilled.

We'll see. If it doesn't happen, I'll still be perfectly happy with my trusty X200

What's wrong with the dev?

I personally don't care, the project is amazing and is basically the only FOSS BIOS on the planet which allows users to have a truly free computing experience that respects their privacy, freedom, and fundamental human rights

Don't believe his lies

Why not coreboot?

>>62375423
Still has proprietary firmware in it. Libreboot is 100% libre.

>>62376169

>Asus Chromebook C201

ARM. No proprietary firmware.

Why not coreboot?

>>62372229
thanks

>>62375373
Stop being SJW yourself

>>62376466
I don't have a C201, I use Thinkpads. If you have C201 and the coreboot rom doesn't contain proprietary firmware, then by all means use coreboot. I personally support libreboot because it's part of the FOSS community.

>>62376470
no problem senpai

>no propriety software drivers
How to do this without screen tearing and flickering?

>>62376570
I don't have any screen tearing or flickering on my X200 with libreboot

>>62376732
Well I guess it depends on the hardware.
