I could to run fine an Nvidia card (gt740 with 2gb of gddr5) on that
motherboard, but it won't work with Libreboot. I needed to Coreboot+seabios
(without blobs obviously). If you run Libreboot, you can boot with integrated
GPU chip, and then use dedicated video card for acceleration (I don't
UEFI crap is handcuffs for any user, it really doesn't protect user from
anything, it just f**k it up. And Windows 10 is the worst Windows for far.
Windows 10 it is an adware, and virus inside, also you can get easily
infected by third patry malware. And remember, using Windows 10 you are
You have same trouble as me. I am student, I also do Android Studio and
Unity. I love Unity, nut yes, is proprietary. I don't know how good is Godot,
but I think that is the best alternative possible to Unity.

CPU microcode is the shittiest non-free crap you can install on your payed
computer.
I mention Palemoon, because it is fork of early versions of Firefox. I love
this old interface-UI-GUI.
what about Palemoon or Basilisk internet browsers?
I tryed to find years ago any Yeelong netbook, and failed. These are

3gb are fine, you should install Trisquel 64 bits, and then install lxde.
LXDE is best in lightness/desktop-features ratio. Trisquel's GNOME2 is fine.
You really only need more ram if you run your browser with much tabs and at
the same time playing huge 3d games for example, I recommend to
With you GT730 you have 3D acceleration, but you need to reclock (very easy)
to get full power of your GPU. If you have one of the latest kernels (after
4.4), just run some commands:
"#" means that you need to run it as superuser
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/pstate
you will see something
Kepler are best supported card by nouveau. NVIDIA driver will be faster but
not much more. With nouveau you must to run reclock commands for run the card
to full clocks (very very easy). With gtx770 you will be able to run any 3d
game with no stutter, with similar performance to NVIDIA's
For performance gtx770 with 4gb, and cheap one, 730gt with 2gb of GDDR5.
The problem is that no body can see the code of that crap, nobody knows if
there is something worse inside the microcode (maybe improved backd00r). So I
won't use microcrap. So maybe we are f***ed.
You can compile coreboot+seabios or coreboot+grub. It will be the same thing.
Also you can import grub.cfg from libreboot also the grub background. I asked
in IRC chat and no one had the answer why grub+dedicated-gpu doesn't work
with this board. Maybe I did something wrong.
Don't forget,
If you want to run this board with dedicated GPU, you should compile
Coreboot+seaBIOS. Libreboot+GRUB or Coreboot+GRUB don't work for me.
You should get some Kepler (7th gen Nvidia GPUs). Personally I tested
gtx650ti, gt730 with 2gb GDDR5, and gtx770 4gb. For this board I recommend

You are right.
But when I say PowerPC I mean everything with PowerPC, not only TalosII.
Computers like Powermac with 2 CPUs (I have one)(yes I know is crApple). Also

The problem is, obviously GPU, PowerPC won't have Intel integrated GPU,

Very interesting that GNU-Linux distro!! maybe this one is more suitable for

Does ConnochaetOS have ShitstemD?
I got used to edit with Kate, which is great text editor with plugins I

PowerPC computers are always were much better comparing vs x86, but always
were expensive. So Talos is much better computer, but much more expensive. It
holds inside a good PowerPC CPU.
Yeah!
I won't buy new Intel CPUs, newer ones comes with better ME(NSA inside) and
bootguard shit.
AMD is completely ignorant. Why someone needs open-source GPU drivers, when
you need huge blobs to use with.
AMD allowing to disable PSP on Ryzen CPU systems.

You can configure and compile Coreboot blobless (no non-free), but the
problem is the hardware. X220-X230-X220t, are great computers, but those
won't boot without some Intel ME code.
So, yes, Coreboot is free software but people can build it with blobs.
Libreboot only want stable version and
Wow, so, they did a great job.
SuperTramp can you share your computer hardware specifications?
Who needs ultra 4k HD icons?
Guys if new Firefox flies, what about RAM consumption?
I have gtx770 with 4gb of GDDR5 and it's runs blobless. If you want something
more modern, you must to run full of non-free firmwares. And be carefull,
maybe some functions/extensions for your software will be incompatible. For
example, if you run Android Studio's emulator with hardware
Not available? why not to download the source and compile it yourself? do it
when your needed program it is not available on your distro.
Thanks for sharing, now I know how bad are the people selling that blobbed
crap.
I read that someone already tryed to compile with different compilers, and
compile fails.
Really it looks like NSA backdoor or something else to me. Good way for
include gifts for the user, like Intel's ME gift.
the question is, why the hell developers moved to use that compiler sinse 4.2
version?
What is the reason they call it as "open" watcom?
https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/12011
hmmm why some people says that is free and open software? I saw Watcom as MIT
in github, and another Watcom v2 as proprietary licence. Very confusing.
So my info was wrong :(
Their licences are unclear.
Virtualbox and his dkms packages are GPL (free software), and runs fine
everything, but you can not use USB-2.0 or USB-3.0, support USBs superior to
1.1 you need to use proprietary extension packages.

How can you run this computer with no CPU?
Anyway PowerPC is more powerful than a x86 CPU, and it doesn't have AMD PSP
or Intel's ME shits. But PowerPC always was expensive.
Devuan great fork, but seems to have too outdated software. How frequent is
release updated?

I use Telegram, it is free software, the easiest way to obtain it is
downloading binary from official website:

BUT: it uses closed source server side. Also I seen some fork of Telegram,
but I do not know what new inside these fork of Telegram.
Thanks, nice to know.
After migrating to Parabola, I also recommend migrate from systemd to openrc.
But only do this afret Arch/Parabola fresh install.

If you need high graphics performance but without non-free, you should buy
gtx770 with 4gb, also any Nvidia Kepler gen will work.
Smtube, also you can block any smtube's JS in smtube's config file. Same with
cookies.
Right now I have a netbook asus 900ha which is 32 bits, I installed Devuan,
and it has a bit outdated packages, but works great. I love Arch, but distros
based on Arch without systemd aren't so stable, and it is only x86_64. Arch
based distros without systemd need a lot of work. Maybe Void
I like LXDE or XFCE4. Does Uruk come with systemd?
You can not have any 3d-2d or any graphics acceleration without non-free
software if you use any ATI/AMD card. Modern AMD GPUs have free drivers, but
still need non-free firmware loaded in the kernel for graphics acceleration.
Without that non-free firmware you only get video output.
In Arch too much packages already are systemd dependent, dbus, audio mixers,
some desktop enviroments like GNOME...
Arch (and Arch based distros) it is my favourite distro, I don't like Ubuntu
based distros, and also Synaptic is worse than pacman and pamac. But Arch's
devs already fcked up that distro with systemd. Using Arch (or Arch based
distro), I think that you will have troubles with officially
Most important thing for me it is non-systemd GNU/Linux distros, I love Arch
or Parabola, but it is a pain to struggle with systemd.
Usually Macbooks are too hot, so 50-60 celcius are normal for that one. Also
if you try to see HD or FullHD videos, temperature can raise to 70-75 celcius
with 6000rpm, and a lot of loudness.
This board is hard to flash externally. I recommend desoldering both chips.
Default chips are unfriendly with flashing, you should buy new SPI chips with
more space. WHen you have desoldered both chips, take new one and flash
libreboot into it, when SPI chip is desoldered, maybe you need to
One question, if it is dead/will die, why they won't to open source it?
You can just solder the wires to the SPI flash chip, for not to dissassemble
the computer anymore.
i5-i7 CPUs are much powerful, cooler than Core2duo-Core2quad PCUs. So, yes
i5-i7 worth the upgrade. Also these CPUs comes with decent integrated graphic
chip, not shitty 4500mhd or 950gma.
It is easy, look. Coreboot or Libreboot, removes Intel's crap, ME/AMT. So,
you get something blobless. On computers with intel's "i" series, AMT/ME can
not to be removed (at least at this moment), but it can be neutralized. So
yes you can run Coreboot on x220, but still the small non-free
Maybe the quick answer is, because GNU+Linux is much more stable, complete,
useful, functional...than any other free software OS.
I know, that FSF recommends fully free GNU+Linux distros. But what about
FreeDOS, it is also free software. And Debian GNU+Hurd? what about
LibertyBSD, all these are free software operating systems, allright, some are
more limited than others, but still free as in freedom.
I remember when I ordered a book in pdf format, it has DRM. So i could open
it only with Adobe's reader, limited times. I found a python script that
removes that DRM from you pdf, and yes I could open my bought pdf times I
wanted with any pdf reader.
Buy 4gb of ram (8gb is possible buy expensive). And a Xeon x5460. Also one
Nvidia Kepler will be fine, if you compile coreboot+seabios. Don't know if
nvidia will work with actual libreboot version.
Or if you know about soldering, but 8MiB SPIs chips, and solder those. Or/and
desolder main and backup chips, and solder/left only main SPI chip. Backup
chip make no sense.
You can buy T9600 at Ebay from China for 20€, I bought mine one. T9900 just
not worth the price/performance.
T9600 aren't expensive.
https://libreboot.org/docs/install/t400_external.html#cpu_compatibility
"Quad-core CPUs
Incompatible. Do not use."
Leah, do you think that complete ME remove is possible?
I never liked slim series, I still prefer brick-laptop. x200 and t420
supposed to be able to run fully free BIOS, the problem is, those must to run
neutralized Intel's ME. Which is still blob. If you doesn't run ME or
neutralized ME, those laptops will shut down after 30min of using.
Yes you have "right command", it is like "left command". In US keyboard for
"@" you need to push any "shift + 2", for ES "right command + 2".
In my Macbook2,1 "@" it is Shift+2 on US keyboard. On ES is right AltGr+2, as
a standard keyboard.
Yes, same for the desktop motherboard, Ivy is retrocompatible with Sandy. I
am also not sure about factory software, but all that CPU use same socket.
Someone upgraded (to i7-3632qm) T420 in Coreboot, he says that it needs some
code for HD4000 GPU, nothing more. So, it is the same socket.
Leah I admire you and your work since Libreboot born. You always helped me a
lot. Also thanks you for your most complete documentation, guides, and a lot
of helpful info. Thanks for gift to us the most important program for free
software community. I do not have much money but I always can
This board works with internal intel's 4500mhd GPU, but you run games on your
PCI card. I could play Warsow flawlessly with Nvidia gt730.
A day I bought a DRMed book, that really got me fckd. I remember that I

Can be bad-cap (bad capacitor), or it shorts with something (I had this
problem with x200t, heatsink was touching a diode). If it boots (or if it was
booting), so the ram and all hardware is compatible.
GMA4500mhd it is very stable, but do not expect nice 3d performance.
Realtek PCI card? what card? LAN CPI card? Wifi PCI card? Already classic
integrated Ethernet card problems are fixed.
x5460 is better, or much better:
Keep going Leah, you are great! Libreboot is the critical software that whole
free software community always needed.
I do not like GNOME, today is a tablet interface, which is fine for tablet
computer. GNOME 2 or flashback version it is not so bad. I still prefer GNOME
forks like MATE.
The northbridge is very very hot, bit I still had no problems. Be sure to
clean NB and put quality thermal paste on the chip. Yes, this board is about
30-50€ used. Don't forget to purchase Xeon x5460, the best CPU for that
board you can buy.
The PCIe GPU works fine as OpenGL render with DRI3, but it doesn't work as
primary GPU.
This gigabyte board runs much better with Xeon x5460, but needs a minimun
quality cooler. And x5460 costs about 20€. Be careful if you want to flash
that board by hardware. Also this board works fine with only one main spi
chip (without backup one).
The problem of A20 computer card is GPU, other things are seems to be
perfect.
All this people keeps working hard.
It is a great game, very competitive and well built. But I had no time for
play it some minutes more.
Yes, it can.

I love computers with PowerPC. But PowerPC is more expensive.
