For those who like open bioses,

I think its common news probably now, but I will say it anyways,

T480/T480s are now supported by libreboot.

Those are 8th gen intel laptops. And if you use me clean on it in combination, which libreboot dev Leah has as a default when its flashed correctly.

Then its a VERY fast libreboot laptop.

The fastest I know of anyhow that isn't a chromebook and maybe in general.

If anyone loves such tech, I recommend you to buy one.   I pondered such an idea recently.

Re: For those who like open bioses,

with reference to libreboot, this should probably be a required document:

@stargate-sg1-cheyenne-mtn Yes, but its still far better than the stock bios with intel me rammed completely open.

Re: For those who like open bioses,

And here I thought my 11th gen Intel running Coreboot was getting old.

Re: For those who like open bioses,

@SteveM not at all, but I am curious what hardware you have.
