[RESPONDED] Coreboot on the Framework Laptop

I see. That makes sense. Then yeah, I personally am not equipped mentally for Coreboot, lol. Too barebones. If someone develops a GUI to go on top and replicates all the settings that the stock proprietary firmware interface exposes and more (that’s what I was hoping for when I bought my System76), then great.

Currently I’m having boot entry issues with mine, AND it has a nasty bug where after a few edits using efi tools in either Windows or Linux, the boot entries in the firmware won’t save. The System 76 team wrote me a custom firmware to flash to clear all settings and used me as a tester to see if they fixed the read only issues (it goes read only after a few efi changes). I eventually just gave up. It’s now a single boot laptop for PopOS and I vowed never to go Coreboot for my next machine.

See my video I posted earlier.

Also this one showing boot entry issues.
