It's parasitical removalware, riding on the real project's value and competing with it in market share after removing parts of it.
I'd rather see an honest fork that's properly maintained than this.
- duskwuff 5y agoThat's a rather inflammatory way of putting it... but you're not wrong. As things currently stand, Libreboot is effectively just a fork of Coreboot with support for any x86 hardware newer than 2008 or so removed (because newer hardware requires non-free binaries which Libreboot refuses to touch). Short of a major change in Intel/AMD policy, I don't see any realistic way this will ever change -- which guarantees that Libreboot will only become more and more irrelevant as time goes on.
