The following boards have been added since the Canoeboot 20240612 release:
Sony PlayStation (PCSX Redux Open BIOS) Dell Latitude E4300 (courtesy of Nicholas Chin) Dell OptiPlex 780 MT support Dell OptiPlex 780 USFF support The OptiPlex models are X4X/ICH10 platform, while the E4300 is GM45/ICH9. Both run 100% blob-free, with the Intel ME firmware completely removed, by using modified Intel Flash Descriptors similar to that seen on ThinkPad X200/T400.
E4300 has the same installation procedure as the E6400.
i bought a linux laptop a few years ago from a linux company to take advantage of things like coreboot and it’s had a dramatic impact compared to my windows laptops onto which i installed linux.
i’m in the initial stages of creating a new daily driver and i want to consider compatibility with other projects like this to help me re-acclimate to the general public’s linux user experience, so thanks for sharing and your guess; responses like this are really helpful in getting me back into this groove.
You are confused and mean. You cannot compare 2 different laptops and say that one has worse battery management because of coreboot. You would need to have the same laptop with and without coreboot to do any comparison.
I don’t really get what you are trying to say in the second paragraph but Canoeboot is not a good daily driver because it’s basically a “drug substitute” for GNU dummies. The author of it does not recommend using it. Use Libreboot instead as it does not break your CPU.
I think I can see the confused part; but I don’t get mean.
My comment was an overall anecdotal estimation of my experiences of using windows and Linux on the same laptop. I noticed that the battery life while using Linux was significantly shorter than using windows on the same laptop. My battery life experience w my first core boot laptop seems to be on par w my windows laptop.
Also I get mean a lot; I tend to commit a lot of faux pas and people are usually too angry w me to let me understand what I said/did. I have no idea what I did for the label this time around as well and I hope you’ll tell me.
