So I want a thinkpad. After much research, I've come down to two models. The t420 and the t430/s. Are either of these libreboot compatible? Also, can I find one of these models with a dedicated gpu and an i7 quad core? If this is possible, I'll shit myself. It will be a dream come true.
Please anons, help make my Sup Forumsentooman's dream true
Also, is it possible to get dual pcie slots.... one for wifi and one for external graphics?
Jackson Sullivan
Just get an xps13 they are better
Angel Rivera
Talk about not being able to fix that shit without spending a fortune
Jaxson Turner
no they aren't librebootable, read libreboot's faq afaik there's an i7 version but they're hard to come by in my area thinkwiki.org/wiki/ThinkWiki
Bentley Torres
So what would be the best machine to libreboot. Without that I don't really want a computer. (user scared of botnet)
Jackson Adams
Libreboot: T400/X200 Value: T420/X220
Adam Scott
So I'm basically dead In the water..... crappy machines for libreboot.... or should I say underspecced.
Michael Garcia
No. But the T420 may be libreboot compat by the end of the year, according to Leah. With Libreboot, you will likely NOT be able to use your GPU. You will likely be forced to change your network card. You should radically change your browsing habits. Don't use nonfree js (it is possible to use 4ch without nonfree js). I don't think you completely understand the purpose of libreboot or the fsf. I use a T400.
Benjamin Mitchell
My Libreboot T400 is perfectly serviceable (aside from a battery I need to replace) outside of things like vidya The old Core 2 Duos really still hold up under most GNU/Linux distros
Grayson Gray
I really want to get rid of the intel ME in my computer. Also, I want to get rid of my gayming shit but still have the power of an i7 for compiling code and overall speed. Also, Core 2 Duos aren't the best, at least not in my opinion. I've never found one to support more than 8gb of ram (yes I'm a Ramfag)
So if the t420 libreboot firmware comes out this year I would be set. I have many alternate atheros wifi cards, but it will be upsetting to not use an external gpu.
Anthony Reyes
Can someone explain what the purpose of libreboot is?
Tyler Jackson
They're gonna have the t420 librebootable by the end of the year I think
Chase Edwards
muh free doom
Christopher Brooks
read their faq nigger
Mason Carter
J O Y C O N B O Y Z
Jace Ramirez
Has anyone found out what will happen with the t430s? When will they libreboot that?
Juan Green
How is having a computer voluntary. You're stuck either way, unfortunately.
Nathan Gomez
I too was excited till I tried some different thinkpads. The screen is bad, really bad.
Dominic Morris
What's a "faq nigger"? Did you mean "Read their FAQ, nigger."?
Hudson Rogers
>"The ThinkPad screen" is bad >All ThinkPads are the same sent from my T450s with an IPS screen.
Jeremiah Price
Thinkpads t400 are compatible with libreboot. All of them. So both t420 and t430 should be fine
