@GossiTheDog even for gaming, windows is going out the door, with the advent of the steamdeck, and steam support being what it is today on linux.

and those chromebooks all run #coreboot or at least google's modified version of it. you can put #mrchromebox coreboot distro on it: docs.mrchromebox.tech/

doing this also lets you use normal linux distros really easily. and this is such a magnificent coup on google's part, getting coreboot into so many millions of computers in such a manner. bravo!

Amazing conference in Rapperswil-Jona! 🇨🇭 NovaCustom was so glad to be at #NixCon25, where we showcased our laptops and mini PC with #coreboot firmware. 💻 I (Wessel) have met so many new people and learned that NovaCustom and @nixos_org have a lot of common values. A special thanks to Sebastian, who has been extremely helpful! 😃👍

@os_sci @zandbelt @mboelen @Morpurgo @teacher_rick Ook hebben we goede hulp gehad van @kkeijzer van interlunium.nl/ :blobcathappy:

Als de FW WP-bit eenmaal uit is kun je het script van MrChromebox draaien wat de Bios overschrijft met CoreBoot.

Daarna is het een gewoon laptopje waar je iedere Linux distro naar keuze op kunt draaien. :opensource: :archlinux: :linuxmintnew: :debian: :ubuntu: :kubuntu: 🚀

@os_sci @zandbelt @mboelen @Morpurgo @teacher_rick Ja, een Chromebook in een normale laptop veranderen kan bij Intel modellen (niet ARM) Instructies: docs.mrchromebox.tech/docs/get
Voor het model wat wij hebben (HP 11 G8 EE) moet je een keer opstarten met de batterij los om de FW WP (Firmware Write protection) uit te krijgen. Stekkertje is fragiel :blobcatrollingeyes: .

draadje 🧵

𝗙𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗯𝗼𝗼𝘁 𝗨𝗽𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗳𝘄𝘂𝗽𝗱 𝟮.𝟬.𝟭𝟯.

With 𝗳𝘄𝘂𝗽𝗱 𝟮.𝟬.𝟭𝟯, you can now update coreboot without losing your customised settings or boot entries!

Even better, updates now complete in about 𝟲𝟬 seconds, instead of the usual 3–10 minutes.

Fast, reliable, and zero reconfiguration.

Also, I recommend to read this #FreeBSD wiki article about suspend setup:

wiki.freebsd.org/SuspendResume

And look to the linked lists about tested laptops.

In my experience, the suspend/resume much more depends on the software in the your BIOS chip. E.g. #Thinkpad X220 with proprietary BIOS resumes instantly (tested on FreeBSD 10/11). And X220 with #coreboot / #libreboot needs near 10 seconds to wake up (FreeBSD 14.2/14.3)

wiki.freebsd.orgMaking sure you're not a bot!

We had a great experience at #DebConf25!

We brought our two laptop models and our brand new NUC Box with Dasharo coreboot firmware.

It was great to see how much recognition and interest there was. Between the tech talks and hallway chats, we really enjoyed the spirit of the Debian community.

🙏 Thanks to everyone who visited our stand!
📅 Any recommendations for other FOSS conferences we should join?
