Pretty interesting, I hope they make something similar for the laptops. I use an x200 with Libreboot to avoid the proprietary software in new Intel chips and the bios. It's still fast since I use Arch with dwm, but at some point in the future I would like to switch.

> I hope they make something similar for the laptops From https://puri.sm/faq/ https://puri.sm/faq/: "We cannot share the schematics nor design currently because it is copyright encumbered from Intel reference designs. In the future, on future versions we plan to be able to release those."

> x200 with Libreboot How safe are those now that the Intel vulnerabilities are known? I doubt hardware that old is getting microcode updates.

  You can disable hyperthreading to mitigate a lot of Intel vulnerabilities. Qubes, which is a popular OS choice within the coreboot crowd, does this by default.

    But not all of them, right? Some of the vulnerabilities do require upstream microcode updates, and without them, I feel like the risk introduced outweighs any benefit provided by Libreboot.
