You can run a free OS pretty effortless, but when wanting 100% free software, you have to dig deeper and replace the proprietary BIOS firmware.

    Damn good find! Not expensive, about double the price I paid but still very reasonable.

    Very funny, they have a Tux bootsplash logo in their Bios??

    And the BIOS really is great, I will miss that on Coreboot I guess. But all the necessary features should be there.

      Oh lol, that’s a considerable difference. Though I suppose the Intel CPUs on your device probably aren’t 12th gen?

      Who offers that :P ? Did I somehow miss that?
