Saw this a bit ago but didn't think to post about it

To be clear, this doesn't mean coreboot is available now and what is working for devs includes quite a few binary blobs. It's still progress though and good to see.

It's been 5 months but you did ask me to inform you of anything happening @[email protected]

Another link from that article shares more info: https://www.phoronix.com/news/Framework-13-AMD-Coreboot-WIP

Something that frustrates me is the the bios manufacturers tend to do the minimum required.

This means that your notebook could grow older and stop getting bugfix updates.

The bios are usually tailored for Windows and thus break UEFI standards like windows.

This requires "quirks" in Linux to try to make ACPI for correctly.

Coreboot is appealing to me because it gives hope that well have properly designed firmware, and prompt bugfixes, on Laptops one day.
