They also all need to be using librebooted computers (Thinkpad and Optiplex)

s/librebooted/canoebooted/

it's honestly quite strange. The Libreboot term has been known for years to refer to the fully free bios project. Then they merged osboot and Libreboot so now libreboot contains proprietary blobs. Then they decided to make a new project canoeboot, which is basically the new libreboot.

so they went from having:

  • osboot
  • libreboot

to having:

  • canoeboot
  • libreboot

All they seemed to have done is confuse.

Canoeboot was made as a joke to make fun of OSS enthusiasts.

corebooted chromebooks are more libre

The problem is installing Linux on them is a nightmare and bring a risk of bricking them.

also a lot of them have soldered storage of like 16 gigs, which just isn't enough for most ppl
