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)

>>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
â„–27198[Quote]
>>27195yeah, i just didnt mention them because the ones i mentioned are arguably sturdier (they also can be librebooted)
â„–27199[Quote]
>>27195also, the dells are easier to libreboot, check the site
â„–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

>>27205qubes?
i use qubes in latitudes and atleast for me theres no problems

>>27193 (OP)if you're a weeb look at Panasonic's letsnote line

Buy used troonbook m1 air unless you REALLY need to use linux

>>27211dont do dis
proprietary software is niggerhell
â„–27213[Quote]
>>27195>librebootIt's cope, especially t480 one comes with proprietary microcode so your laptop wont run 100% FOSS if you're into it
â„–27215[Quote]
just get either a dell latitude, thinkpad or panasonic letsnote op
get the older models doe, before they enshittified everything

>>27211>>27212Mac laptops have keyboards and trackpads I can't stand + I need both linux and windows (for some snca digital design software at uni)

>>27213So core/libre boot won't stop glowies from putting 'p on it?
â„–27237[Quote]
>>27228it will, he just saying that libreboot still has SOME proprietary components
for fully libre, use canoeboot
â„–27240[Quote]
>>27237that's fine with me
â„–27241[Quote]
>>27240then libreboot is fine for you
â„–27265[Quote]
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)
â„–27269[Quote]
>>27265trusting the setting is kinnda dumb, with libreboot, its fully gone

>>27195>>27199>>27210>>27213>>27228>>27237>>27241>>27269Isn't Libreboot made by one dev who is also a tranny who made
https://trans.chat/ ? I thought I heard about this on this site a couple months ago.
â„–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.
â„–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?

the creator of libreboot is a troon but its good software

>>27295its worth it for stoping glowniggers
â„–27338[Quote]
>>27298probably microsoft windows
â„–27343[Quote]
>>27298whats the point of getting a thinkpad doe cause the only reason u even get one is just to coreboot (or its forks) it
