Introduction

While Coreboot contains and uses nonfree software, it is the upstream for Libreboot. It also contains a wide variety of projects.

This means that we have to care about the upstream status of computers that can be supported by Libreboot. And we also need FSDG compliant ways to be able to use and package the tools that are developed in the Coreboot source tree.

  1. ↑ 1.01.1 The test was done with an X60 without internal display, an external display, Coreboot 4.18 without nonfree microcode and Guix with linux-libre 6.0.10-gnu
  2. ↑ Cannot be supported because only ATI GPUs are available. Reference: https://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Category:T60p /!\ Add blocker recommended for this link.
