Re: [Trisquel-users] Free Software compatible laptop?

[myself600]

I never said that it's just IBM (now Lenovo) who's inserting these blocking  
features to BIOS (remember that Chromebooks are using Coreboot, and the  
source code is available for download, study and ever recompilation). I never  
had any "unexpected" issues with GNU/Linux on any of my or other peoples  
laptop computer where I previously installed Trisquel. Sure, incompatibility  
can happen, but it will also happen on any other operating systems like MS  
Windows. But on GNU/Linux people can (if nothing else) fix those issues  
itself (source code is available for study), or ask on forums for help, but  
most commonly just by Googling/Ducking (DuckDuckGo.com :) for it, because it  
is highly possible that there was another people who already fixed that. If  
we look at this from the right angle, isn't GNU about hacking  
(fixing/modifying stuff, to fit our needs)?

For the hardware I recommended, they weren't randomly selected. I read about  
them before and looked for what hardware they have, so I can recommend it to  
others. I cannot garantee that the laptops will work out-of-the-box (they  
will probably not), but I can guarantee that all its hardware (CPU, GPU,  
WiFi, etc.) are free software compatible, and from that findings they should  
just logically work (if he doesn't buy a defective model, which I cannot  
affect).
