I'm just getting into all this really.
Mine doesn't have a TPM which is kind of mixed, would be nice to have the option at least. The G505s's are a little newer than those other Lenovos so a bit faster too, but they also require a couple more blobs to run. It was definitely a Do It Yourself thing. Mine took about 3 months before I could run Qubes 4 on it but I had to figure out how to get the BIOS updated first (it involved patching Coreboot, and I had never hardware flashed before!) The nice thing about this older laptop is there is no ME or AMD's PSP in it. Purism/some Dells/System76 all sell systems with a partially (but not completely) disabled ME. Unfortunately, it's the best you can do these days if you want new x86 hardware. Anyways, just email the list again if you run into problems on the install, but could you please start a new thread and subject if you do?
