Any experience with using Libreboot? I guess most devices do not support it, besides the ones listed at their website, which are older models.

Secure-boot and modern motherboards with TPM https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trusted_Platform_Module will not support it by design, or is that theoretically possible?

    So I’ve been getting into coreboot and libreboot but mostly on older hardware. For modern hardware I know coreboot can work since companies like system 76 are using it.

    I think for libreboot it is possible but stripping out binary blobs is getting harder on newer Intels.

    I do know AMD has plans for an open firmware implantation on Sen 6 and if that comes to pass we might see more modern options gain support.

    I have an Asus KGPE-D16 that I bought years ago specifically for Libreboot compatibility. I swear, one of these days I’ll finally get around to installing it.

    Good luck with the docs, parsing through the libreboot docs to find the info you need is like assembling the dead sea scrolls.
