Would you buy a Ryzen if it supports Core/Libreboot?
AMD considering Coreboot

Tyler Sullivan
Yes.
Alexander Brooks
Liam White
I might actually decide to learn Linux.
Gavin Rodriguez
didn't want to post a reddit link here
Nolan Green
Just go for it, debian or mint are easy as fuck to start with.

literally from that thread

Jose Ortiz
Fine. You convinced me.
William Russell
Yes.
Isaiah Allen
>but you make a good argument for reasons to do so. We will evaluate and find a way to work with security vendors and the community to everyone's benefit.
Eli Hernandez
Yes. Seems pretty unlikely, but if it happens it'd be a major victory for freedom and security on x86.
Here's an overview similar to the one on reddit, with a bunch of requests:
libreboot.org
Really all AMD needs to do is make it possible to replace or disable the Platform Security Processor and any other non-free firmware on at least one processor model. As far as I can tell, releasing source code isn't actually necessary, although open sourcing the PSP would be an alternative.
Josiah Edwards
Yay. Hear that, boss? Convinced another user. This shilling job is pretty comfy.
Christian Watson
cause they are not aware that there are enough consumers who care about this.
Christian Ortiz
>Not learning through trial and error
Fucking normies
Jace Jenkins
If chipsets of compatible mobos are supported as well, then sure.
Carson Cruz
If they do, I'll buy a second one.
Gabriel Wood
>there are people here who think amd is going to let you disable the botnet.
Logan Fisher
But they already kinda do that.
Adam Wright
There are few things in the world I could care less about than if AMD supports whatever the fuck that is or not
Alexander Turner
Yes, that would be great.
Brayden Jenkins
Than why do you care to reply in an AMD thread?
Jaxon Perez
I think there is a difference between Ryzen and a

Ryan Wilson
>I'm tech illiterate: The post
Lucas Cook
Yes. Assuming I can find a store that sells it within four hours or less. 4 hours of searching and foot-ache is the gratitude I'm willing to show for a ME-less processor.
Ryder Thomas
If it will with preinstalled coreboot then it will be incompatible with Windows 10™
I' ill not buy AMD RYZEN in any case
Jaxon Thompson
>retarditt
kill yourself
Ryan Morales
you still can boot Botnet™ with Seabios
Grayson Richardson
Yes. I've already bought one. But I'd feel better about it if Coreboot became supported, would likely buy more in the future just for that Coreboot support.
I'm planning on installing Linux w/ KVM/Qemu image of Win10 once my parts arrive, run it in a sandbox. Ryzen + X370 Coreboot support would make it very nice.
Benjamin Cruz
Translation from corporate-speak:
>not gonna happen, fuckface!
Henry Wood
Not necessarily. I would want to have a Ryzen laptop with Coreboot or Libreboot.
Matthew Ortiz
would make it an instabuy for me but it'll never happen
NSA wouldn't allow it
Nathaniel Moore
why people use muslim rabbit bios
Grayson Moore
Some Chromebooks use it too.
William Roberts
yes
Ethan Cook
No. I don't support tranny code
Adrian Hill
...
John Reed
That's Libreboot, not Coreboot, kiddo.
Isaac Hill
>>Would you buy a Ryzen if it supports Core/Libreboot?
Back to school you go.
Jayden Stewart
Translation: "We aren't even going to consider doing this, and it was stupid of you to even ask."
Elijah Watson
ITT: people actually think that AMD would risk losing their ability to sell products in the United States by removing/inhibiting government backdoors. Laughter ensues.
