Well this feels like a sign, I've been looking around at Libreboot compatible machines all day, seriously considering just ordering a Lenovo T480 from Leah.
What machine did you go with if you don't mind my asking?

Well this feels like a sign, I've been looking around at Libreboot compatible machines all day, seriously considering just ordering a Lenovo T480 from Leah.
What machine did you go with if you don't mind my asking?
I went with the T480 since I wanted a laptop that can also run Qubes OS.
This is the first time I've heard of libreboot and I just bought a T490
Here is their list of supported devices:
This is neat, but I'm seeing most devices are 10+ years old - is there a reason for this?
Intel bootguard
The hardware is probably more well known.
Cool, thanks for the info!
It's just that as it stands Libreboot seems like one heck of a tradeoff. I would love to run it, but I also love modern hardware, performance and feature wise that is.
Do I need the newest hardware? No. Do I need Libreboot? No. Do I want both anyways? Well, I'd want an entire desktop in the size and power efficiency of a laptop, I want it all.
You know, I've always been curious about this. Has anyone managed to correlate any outbound traffic to Intel's IME?
How is using Intel a privacy concern? /genq
You don't know what their proprietary code is doing and that the Trump regime has 10% ownership of the company now.
Oh, that's very concerning, too bad my device doesn't support libreboot. :(
Check if it has Coreboot the next best thing.
My Chromebook uses coreboot.
So AMD CPU:s are not a concern then?
Gotta keep the business private from controlling Republicans and Creepy Mark Carney.

core boot >>>>>> libre boot
Why?
