Laptops: You're stuck with the usual C2D memepads and such for now. libreboot.org/docs/hardware/#laptops-intel-x86 Purism isn't libre, and may be bullshit artists according to this board, but they seem to have a roadmap that leads to Libreboot puri.sm/learn/freedom-roadmap/ Here is a project for a Libre PowerPC laptop, shooting for RYF certification. powerpc-notebook.org/faq/ 2005 Powerbooks: OpenFirmware, powerpc architecture. Be warned: only 2GB of DDR2 ram max!
HRT is the perfect acronym for this faggy tranny bullshit general
Julian Walker
Thanks. I thought it made a lot of sense. People on Sup Forums talk about sissy shit like programming socks, the lead dev of libreboot is a tranny, Sup Forums likes traps, etc.
Hunter Long
This is only acceptable if you remove all the libreboot links and nobody mentions it in the thread. there are other projects alike to be promoting that shit from that mentally unstable tranny
Hunter Flores
How likely is there to be any malicious functionality in hardware and its firmware on Thinkpads from 2006? I have an x60 and a t60 but I don't want to install Libreboot. I know the c2d chips are clean, but what else may potentially be of concern?
Leo Sanchez
That's actually part of what I wanted to discuss. The old Libreboot memepads and AMD servers are certainly an option, but with the x220 hack not looking all that likely, and AMD flat out refusing to open their shit up, it seems like alternative architectures may be something to look at, especially since distros such as Debian, Fedora, and Sup Forumsentoo support a lot of them.
Any thoughts on ARM? I think there may be some possibilities there.

Is the process really as clean as open the thing up unscrew the screw internally flash install loonix of choice?
Because if so... I never thought i'd say this in a million fuckin years, but I think I might be getting a chromebook for my next laptop
Carter Sullivan
Yes it is that simple. I installed GalliumOS on a Chromebook that way.
Brody Hill
hime isn't a tranny
Grayson Martin
Sweet! I mean I think that pretty much solves laptops. We have the old x86 C2D machines, the upcoming RYF powerpc laptop, and ARM unjewgled chromebooks.
How the fuck is it possible that the only way to get a non-botnet laptop is buying one from a botnet company? Fucking think about it.
Nathan Morgan
Because they're not a hardware company and you're throwing out all their software.
Nathaniel Gutierrez
Non Pro Ryzen CPUs and APUs do not have the PSP. Its fused off, and cannot be enabled. Only the business oriented Pro SKUs have it functional.
Brayden Murphy
Fool me once...
Luis Baker
The ultimate removal of botnet is just turning off the internet.
Lucas Reed
You could be a retard and shitpost like a human NPC capable of only regurgitating a set script of meme responses, or you could educate yourself on what the TrustZone coprocessor actually does.
Its the same on Carrizo/Bristol Ridge chips. If you try to load the driver and firmware stack for it nothing happens, because its fused off. Only available for Pro SKUs.
Nathan Richardson
Sure they say it's fused off so it must be true
Gavin Russell
what do i do with my new t420
Liam Jackson
AMD is safe pre-2013
Levi Gonzalez
This. The process I talked about here is essentially reflashing coreboot and getting rid of ChromeOS. What you're left with is an unjewgled Chromebook.
Well you can't libreboot it, but you CAN Coreboot it, which is the next best thing. As for what advantage this has, aside from limiting the amount of botnet, is you can actually install ivybridge CPUs into that thinkpad, where normally it would only accept sandybridge.
This. Pre-2013 they didn't have the PSP, which is why the corebootable or librebootable boards from them are before then.
> /hrt/ > trap No. Nononononono, I ain't playing that.
Anthony White
The link you posted isn't even remotely relevant. Not even tangibly related. Only the Pro SKUs have the TrustZone ARM core active.
At least pretend like you have a three digit IQ, shit for brains.
Josiah Foster
Can anyone else confirm this, aside from this one user? I'm gonna need a LOT of proof before I start putting "AMD is 100% safe" in the list.
Nolan Rogers
is a librebooted thinpkad from __00 series(t200,w500 etc.) 100% secure and runs 100% free software? how secure is it compared to corebooted __20 series?
Brayden Torres
>100% free Yes. The whole point of libreboot is to remove any binary blobs that might be in coreboot for the sake of hardware compatibility with later stuff. The main difference I think is in the fact that Libreboot REMOVES the Intel Management Engine, while Coreboot merely SHRINKS it. If you have a libreboot *00 series, you can have a computer that runs only stallman-approved stuff. If you coreboot it, you're running a mostly-free computer with some proprietary components, but you also get newer hardware. I guess a way to think about it might be that stock BIOS is the Windows of firmware, Coreboot is the Ubuntu of firmware, and Libreboot would be I guess the Debian of firmware. Not a perfect analogy, but whatever
Kayden Sullivan
ok, i understand, but does libreboot trully remove any and all proprietary code from your machine? i used to think that it did but a while back user posted this: youtube.com/watch?v=iffTJ1vPCSo and it made me realize how much non-free, buggy and potentialy malicious code can hide in the mobo's firmware, would librebooting for example a w500 make it 100% free as in freedom to the point that stallman would useit?
Benjamin Bell
This level of autism triggers me
Tyler Jackson
>Would stallman use it He most certainly would. The FSF has a program called RYF, which recommends hardware sellers and refurbishers that sell these exact sort of Librebooted thinkpads, as well as libre wifi stuff. fsf.org/resources/hw/endorsement/respects-your-freedom The reason there's no w500 on that list is because there's no site where you can buy it pre-librebooted and pre-configured with libre wifi.
