I've made a bad choice choosing a non-personalized user name a couple of
years ago.
Could I ask an operator here to change my username from 'Vikings' to
'Vikings_thum' so other team members can join in a similar fashion - if it's
not too much trouble?
Thanks!
This is a known and bug/feature with Libreboot because a perfectly stable
X200 would require microcode updates.
See https://notabug.org/libreboot/libreboot/issues/289
To complete the list of shops that install Libreboot and are specialized in
this one way or another, there's also Zerocat from Berlin/Germany:

Many of the devices, except the X200 tablet and X200s have become kind of
rare these days. At least they aren't

You realize though that even if this would happen this could be considered a
downgrade from e.g. an X200 for some? Speaking in terms of build quality and

worst condition we were able to source, clean it, usually replace the screen
with an AFFS screen, get a new keyboard and I'm happy).

I don't think suspend works with Libreboot. Hibernate instead, it's also more
secure (with disk encryption). There may be some regressions in the kernel,
so it might work with one version and it might fail with another.
We've shipped the system with the latest version of Linux libre, so if

You're most welcome! =)

Samsung Evo or Pro is always a good choice according to our fair share of

RAM doesn't seem to be the problem, all sticks should work if my visual
memory is correct. At least with one module at a time.
If the laptop worked before flashing Libreboot, I'd probably flash again. If
that doesn't work either, flash the vendor BIOS again and see what happens
then.
We would need more information, e.g. which RAM model. Oftentimes this is
about incompatible RAM. That's where I'd look first if you're sure the
flashing was successful.
If you have two modules installed, try with only one (in this case you
probably have two different modules installed which

Hello there,

It may be not relevant to you, your initial comment about VAT was factually
wrong though and I cared to correct it. Suddenly it's "irrelevant", which
seems counterintuitive.

Huh?

Oh dear, that's not how it works. If you register for VAT because you have to

From what I've seen, heard and read Technoethical as a source of your
libre-friendly computing is to be highly recommended. I've met Tiberiu
personally on FOSDEM this year and I found him knowledgable, friendly and
professional.
So what the OP/troll actually seems to be asking is if people

It's probably better to get another laptop and sell yours to a smoker who
