Any experience with using Libreboot? I guess most devices do not support it, besides the ones listed at their website, which are older models.

Secure-boot and modern motherboards with TPM https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trusted_Platform_Module will not support it by design, or is that theoretically possible?

So I've been getting into coreboot and libreboot but mostly on older hardware. For modern hardware I know coreboot can work since companies like system 76 are using it.

I think for libreboot it is possible but stripping out binary blobs is getting harder on newer Intels.

I do know AMD has plans for an open firmware implantation on Sen 6 and if that comes to pass we might see more modern options gain support.
