I haven't, but I've been heavily considering it
I've done one before, it was an involved process but doable with the right tools. I think it's easier on the T480s than the older thinkpads though
Is there a way to install LibreBoot, without screwing up my main Linux Mint install? Or would I have to back up my shit, and reinstall from scratch?
