Support for coreboot can't come soon enough. My fingers are already tingling in excitement for that day.

Is it even coming? They don't seem very interested

[-] yala@discuss.online 21 points 1 month ago

We actually already have an experimental coreboot port on the FW 13 AMD.

And, from my understanding, Framework has sent over a device to make this possible.

However, I don't know if it will ever get official support. Though, surely, I hope it will.

Thank you for this info! I expected this to be more feasible on the Intel models for whatever reason. Glad to see a glimmer of hope for the AMD platforms.

Historically, in the past few years, for devices that support coreboot, we've had more Intel models than AMD models. So perhaps that's were your hunch stems from.

Yes, exactly this, though I know Jeremy Soller from System76 has been working on Coreboot for AMD UMA platforms a couple years back.

There's hope, still 😅

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
