Still just old stuff...

I have one of that era! Which is cool!

But my Novacustom 11th Gen Intel Laptop just works for modern stuff.

Leave it to reality to squash my hopes.

I have an ancient laptop in storage, and I wonder if it's one of those.

Question: if a Linux distro already installs grub, why would I want something like this?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 8 months ago

Grub is a bootloader, not the firmware/BIOS which is used to initialize the hardware

If I‘m not totally mistaken, libreboot is about you getting more control over your machine, ie disabling intel management engine.

Should I say "libre boot" or "lib reboot?"
