Hello: 2 things: a. Even given all of their recent "damage" to themselves, how does Libreboot play into this? Is there a guide with respect to Debian that people can use to go the Libreboot route -- supported by this list?b. This UEFI crap - and Microsoft/Intel trying to lock everything to themselves crap is crappy.
Has anyone gathered all of these UEFI steps and good workarounds into One place that people can follow?
I would be happy to help in that effort. (I would also be happy to push that one answer out onto forums where I see this issue mentioned.) Thanks! On 4/20/2017 9:49 AM, solitone wrote:
