      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.

    Should I say “libre boot” or “lib reboot?”

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

      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.
