Re: [qubes-users] Re: fyi - System76 Will Ship 2 Linux Laptops w Coreboot

2019-11-01 Thread 'thenewgeek' via qubes-users
Darter Pro is the Clevo N151CU. Many Clevo authorized sellers are already 
selling this model. Some even selling with 64GB RAM which would be great for 
Qubes OS. Would it be possible to use same coreboot as system76 on the Clevo 
N151CU?

I'm using the P751-TM1-G model with 64GB RAM and i7-8700k. After some tinkering 
I could get both USB-C ports working. But, this is a heavy workstation. N151CU 
would be much portable with better battery life.

[qubes-users] HCL Lenovo ThinkPad X390 Yoga

2019-10-12 Thread 'thenewgeek' via qubes-users
Hello,

I'm using Qubes R4.0.2 RC1. Had to tinker a bit to get everything working on 
this laptop/convertible with 8th Gen Intel processor. i.e.: ThinkPad Pen Pro.

It appears to be working fine for general use. Couldn't disable the Intel ME 
features from BIOS as coreboot is not supported yet, would be nice to use 
coreboot safely with me_cleaner in the future.

What works:
Touch Screen
WiFi
Keyboard backlight

What doesn't work:
Screen rotation is not working.

Not tested:
Bluetooth (didn't try to fix or look into it)
Smart card reader
NFC (I don't think that's necessary)

Hope this helps.

TheNewGeek
