When building products to last, it’s not enough to design the hardware to be repairable, upgradeable, and customizable. The overall longevity of devices as complex as modern notebooks also depends on how long the software and firmware continues to be useful.

    Maybe Coreboot will actually happen on the models people care about, ie not Chrome book.

    make it open source, this is the cheapest way.

    arent radeons from the mid 2000s still supported on linux because of that?

      Can’t do it at will when it contains third party proprietary code. They have to reimplement what Insyde wrote for them first.

      But otherwise yes.

          Is coreboot for framework actually being worked on in earnest? My googling only turned up that one guy was doing some basic work on it but only as a concept.

            The Chromebook editions use coreboot already, it shouldn’t actually be too hard to get it to work on all editions (for Framework). I guess they just have other plans currently.

              The Chromebook version comes with coreboot because that’s a requirement for all Chromebooks. It would be nice if all editions had that, but IIUC the Chromebook’s motherboard is also a bit different.

      Linux support and bios updates are separate things. You can patch problems in the OS but it’s more efficient to patch them in the bios.
