I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux,
is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux.
Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component
of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell
utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day,
without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU
which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are
not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a
part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system
that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run.
The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself;
it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is
normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system
is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux"
distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

What video?

Damn, source

what does a thinkpad have to do with freedom?

I've got a bunch of thinkpads. I can build you a custom X60s with libreboot if you want.
Lincoln Bennett
It's one of the few computers that you can install libreboot (aka trannyboot)
Josiah Clark
Finally realizes RMS was right all along.

wew.
Isaiah Martinez
Thinkpad x60s's are fine. I use one myself. But they can only have 3 GB of ram so if you want to do anything except emacs you may want to buy an x200 and libreboot it so you get get 8 GB of ram.
Owen Morgan
Or just get both, that's what I did. The X60s and X200 are comfy af.
Connor Lee
Link to the video friend? I've got nothing better to do.
Logan Powell
How can you watch this? This physically hurts me.
Connor Thomas
is the x60 compatible with the r60?
i know the t60 is the same chipset with diff I/O but the bios are compat
Nolan Ortiz
>being this new
Lincoln Clark
What the fuck? So nobody should be able to sell the product THEY made just because he's so fucking paranoid about being identified up to a point where he doesn't trust anyone?
Aaron Gutierrez
You can put libreboot on the X60 and T60 but not the R60
Jaxon Price
are you pretending to misunderstand what the 'free' in 'free software' means?
Lincoln Wright
What? You really think selling free software is a good idea?
Cameron Diaz
at last u see the light
Samuel Reyes
Someone tell RedHat
Lincoln Foster
What the fuck is going on with her thumb on that pic
Benjamin Harris
They don't sell the product, they sell the maintenance.
John Phillips
I use the X40, it's even danker and no need to fool with special BIOS muckery, because it has no management engine.
Cooper Cruz
People were selling GPL'd software as far back as the 1980s user, get woke.
Xavier Gonzalez
The bios is still proprietary, and there's no way to be sure that it doesn't have a backdoor.
