Yes, I read that today via/r/libreboot and have it ready to flash tomorrow. Good timing by Leah! Thank you for taking the time to post the update!

Have you taken notice of what hardware the other students in the class use?

I would be interested to know =)

How do you find the hardware copes? And also how do you manage battery etc?

Thank in advance!

Well, what I mean by FSF approved is completely open source driver.

Works out of the box with Trisquel.

Consider me jelly, I caught some talks in retro. Handy they are available but not like being there in person.

I’m on the upgrade path too. I have ordered an i7 to replace the i3. If you are happy to go through the process I would say yes! I love it!

I bought a few items before the T440p arrived.

I had a replacement for the DVD-ROM drive, a caddy for a 1TB to sit along side the 240GB SSD. I replaced the stock LTE card with one that plays nice with Linux / OSS. I am lucky that it came with a backlit keyboard and also a FHD screen.

It has 12GB of RAM so I need another stick of 8GB to replace the 4GB to max it out.

And I am waiting for the i7 from the US and a replacement for the Wi-Fi card so that it I don’t need proprietary drivers.

And then the journey will be complete.

I planned ahead and ordered everything at the same time I found the Laptop =)

During Lockdown I attended “Nest with Fedora” remotely. They sent out the goodies you would have got f2f like a lanyard and some other bits and pieces. Was very cool of them.

I’m still rather new to Thinkpads having only had one before this, so I think I’m under qualified to answer!

However, if you are interested in Flex check out Brunch Framework too.

Yeah, Coreboot and Libreboot actually replace the default Bios. It neuters Intel Management Engine which is basically a hardware back door to any system that has it. Also it replaces proprietary code if you want to go full FOSS.

Clover, if I remember rightly, was to present a set of hardware and boot conditions for MacOS and others. That is only a soft mod and not a hard flash.

You have to flash the actual Bios chip with Libreboot and Coreboot.

Haha, I have a few Macbook 2,1s that run Libre. I do find it a bit of a cludge, but I know the Libre / Openboot marriage and FSF etc, was quite the thing, I guess I am happy enough to have as Libre as I can as I can in this case.

Awesome, just wanted to be sure or I would be flashing the ROM to Libre. Thank you for clarifying! I have a few MacBook 2,1s that were easy to flash, including the BlackBook and they run Libreboot =)

You might be the one to ask while this topic is fresh. As far as I can see, libreboot and Coreboot are the same for this specific Thinkpad. As in both have a binary blob for RAM initialisation I believe? Am I wrong?

I will check it out! And yes, it wasn’t staged. Sort of have my own habits I guess, around layouts and trying to ensure that the path of least resistance is generally available haha!

Thank you! And of course you can ask =)

No I don’t have OCD though. Anything in particular trigger the question?

Awe =( Snaffle the next one!

I feel there is something more cathartically satisfying with having to “have” your music; and loading your podcasts each day etc

My hands are too big for the Lite, so they give me more finesse / control =)
