thinkpad x230, w500 or t430
OR
dell latitude E6XXX (any from the 6 line)
these were built to last, ibm thinkpads are also good but have very bad components in today standards (pentium or duo core cpus, only 4 gigs of ram max)
№27195[Quote]
>>271943rd or 4th gen core i5/7 is a bit older than I'd hope
the t480/t580 look interesting because they're more modern, and can be librebooted
№27198[Quote]
>>27195yeah, i just didnt mention them because the ones i mentioned are arguably sturdier (they also can be librebooted)
№27199[Quote]
>>27195also, the dells are easier to libreboot, check the site
№27205[Quote]
>>27199but they are fairly older
i will probably run VMs on it, and I'm hoping for 2 drive slots so i can dual boot

i use qubes in latitudes and atleast for me theres no problems

>>27195>librebootIt's cope, especially t480 one comes with proprietary microcode so your laptop wont run 100% FOSS if you're into it

just get either a dell latitude, thinkpad or panasonic letsnote op
get the older models doe, before they enshittified everything

another option might be newer ryzen thinkpads (amd psp doesn't have a network stack + on a ryzen lenovo legion laptop there's a bios setting to turn off PSP)

https://trans.chat/ ? I thought I heard about this on this site a couple months ago.
№27295[Quote]
>>27195former trannyboot user here. I would say its not worth it, caca. You lose some functionalities and don't really gain muh security just 'cause its open sauce. There are bios mods for T480, but IIRC nobody figured out how to 'atch the bios without ACKing the TPM.
№27298[Quote]
>>27295What things do you lose?
Also, ACKing the TPM is le good
If libreboot isn't worth it, should I go for an AMD thinkpad instead so I get the less intrusive TPM?

>>28048I don't need the GPU (built a computer), so I could save money by getting a thinkpad. I don't know if I should go for intel or amd, the repair shop I brought mine to said 70% of the laptops they have come in are amd
№28051[Quote]
>>28050if you are going to use libreboot and do alot of VM work, intel is betterer
№28052[Quote]
>>28051I'd say libreboot is now just "nice to have", maybe I'd shift my focus to coreboot because libreboot is made by a commiepedotroon. Something like an early gen T14 has nice price/performance for me. Still debating on the processor.
