For anyone searching for models:

  • dasharo.com coreboot (novacustom, 3mdeb, system76)
  • mrchromebox.dev
  • starlabs.com
  • libreboot.org for old hardware but with updates

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

including now its network card

You can make a Chromebook fully open source

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

Framework laptops do not have open course firmware.

They license their UEFI from Insyde. They have an open source EC, which, while it accomplishes similar things is not the firmware.

What's an EC?

[-] bitwolf@lemmy.one 4 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

It's the embedded controller. It sits on top of the UEFI and coordinates laptop hardware behaviors between the UEFI and the individual components.

It controls things like "is lid sensor closed? Suspend".

Whereas the UEFI + OS actually handles the suspend.

The tallos II has closed source firmware for the nvme storage controller, but it is the best option on the market right now if you can afford the upfront cost.

It might have been the blackbird board that was fully open

[-] psud@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

Thats odd. The presentation claimed only the network controller was closed, until their work
