+ The librem does have coreboot support, but it's pretty meaningless (it's shimboot, which
+ means that coreboot is just incorporating blobs. It's not real coreboot support,
+ but rather, what is shamelessly passed off as coreboot support these days, where
+ binary blobs for hardware initialization is considered acceptable in the coreboot project).
+ It should be noted, that the coreboot port for librem was done by a lone Google software
+ developer (Duncan Laurie), not Purism.
It's a shame, because these laptops would be perfect for libreboot.
