Neat that there's a competitor to system 76. I'll have to look into them later. I use a T500 I plucked from the trash for secure libre street cred. No blobs

I use a T500 I plucked from the trash for secure libre street cred. No blobs anywhere afaik.
- pabs3 5y agoT500 has blobs at minimum: CPU microcode, UEFI boot firmware, EC firmware, GPU firmware, HDD/SSD firmware, Ethernet/WiFi firmware, battery controller firmware, display firmware etc.
- willis936 5y agoWhile true, those issues are present even in system76 and purism. They're even worse because the T500 doesn't have a dedicated GPU or TPM. I know the combination of hardware I have in my T500 has all FOSS drivers and I assume purism is the same. I have it mostly as a toy and I'm sure most purism customers are the same.
