+ 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.
