could the damage of #uefi restricted boot be mitigated by taking out the chip and replacing it w/ #coreboot? could literally save !fs

You don't necessarily have to replace the BIOS chip (though it is safer in case something goes wrong). Just flash it from your system.

AMD is being rather helpful in that regard.

Yup, which is why I buy only AMD CPUs and motherboards with AMD sockets and chipsets. ;)

@calminferno Situation is getting better though wrt laptops, !coreboot supports one or two thinkpads these days... !fs

@calminferno Why not both? But barring that I'd say the one you use the most.

@calminferno: I'm envious that you have the choice, I'm using Trisquel on a desktop and my laptop is an Ubuntu Dell -_-'

@omouse @calminferno Yeah, my only portable option is my #Debian netbook with a not-really-Intel #GMA500 that has no GFX acceleration.

Any recommendations on a microATX motherboard with socket #AMD AM3 that works well with !Coreboot and !GNU / !Linux? To be a server build.

@nmaziashvili Right, good point. Heh, I wish manufacturers would hurry up and sell boards pre-flashed with coreboot. Same time & money, too.

Ordered an ASUS M4A785T-M mobo for my server. Not yet supported by #coreboot, but I may port it next year (should be easy). cc @nmaziashvili

Which manufacturer would sell customized laptops w/o windows and with free-driver hardware? !fs !linux #freehardware

@kete That would be some trouble, wouldn't it? Thanks anyway!
-
@danielmarti free h/w support + customization means low volume, and higher price. That's the high price reason.

Usable, but needs more work. Sadly still requires copy of non-free VGA BIOS for internal gfx. External card has BIOS too. The issue remains.

@ncommander Not correct anymore, !coreboot runs on 2 laptop models these days, both Intel 945 chipset and certain embedded controller (EC).
