In this video I am booting up one of my Libreboot T440p builds and loaded up Windows 10. I actually had no idea you could boot up Windows on Libreboot. Very intersting.

For the longest time, I thought you couldn’t boot Windows on Libreboot.
Its because its not as simple as just freely supporting it. Frameworks CEO talks about it in a podcast on yhe idea if they fully went behind coreboot, the hardware release cycle would at least be a generation behind, and if youre a fledgling business whose main focus is environment, repair and upgradibility first, that would likely end in the bankruptcy of your business.
+1 for this. My tech hope in 2024 is… “RISC-V has reach the perfect system for consumer level” like I installed Debian on my thinkpad laptop, without any error…
If Google and Qualcomm already develop RISC-V on smartwatch in 2023, then why not on laptop in 2024? Ohh… of course it’s because trade war chips tension that halt the development. But still… optimistic on this is not wrong either IMO. Just because “it’s far from” doesn’t mean it cannot move fast…
On a side note, t440p’s {core,libre}boot is not completely foss, they still use a proprietary blob for mrc (at least AFAIK). Yet it’s still way better than other options
That’s not true anymore, somebody from the community reverse engineered the MRC blob a couple months back. The only RYF concern is Intel Management Engine (which is disabled, but still its there). LibreMRC is still being tested, the resolution for SeaBIOS is still messy but it works!
Well, I guess I now have an incentive to order yet another t440p motherboard to bring mine back to life and go playing with it once again. Tnx for the info!
I wish more laptops had the option for Libreboot or Coreboot. I’m so tired of the monopoly proprietary firmware vendors have.

Not gonna happen.
There are some interesting projects going on, but a) still far from desktop performance and b) definitely not in a laptop.

I think part of the problem is that all of the modern hardware is a black box on some level or another.
