Should I use Coreboot or Libreboot?
I want to remove Intel ME from my computer, which is the better option?
- mdwalters 4y agoI think Libreboot would be the best option
- fsflover 4y agoYou should use Libreboot if your device supports it. Most devices don't. Those that do are vulnerable to Spectre and Meltdown attacks, so beware.

- coltens 4y agoCoreboot and Libreboot are software projects that aim to replace proprietary firmware with a lightweight, open-source alternative. However, there are some differences between them: Libreboot is a fork of Coreboot that does not allow non-free binaries or blobs. Coreboot gives you the option to include chunks or not when building. Libreboot only supports a small number of devices, mostly older ones. Coreboot supports more devices, including some modern ones. Libreboot does not keep track of Coreboot updates; its most recent release is from mid-2016. Coreboot is updated regularly. Depending on your device and your preference for free software, you may choose either one. However, installing either one may be difficult for non-technical users.
