>I started to do deeper research and i seen that these laptops are completely
cracked down,their hardware unlocked 100%.
Not correct. Proprietary firmware is required and used for the hard drive and
the embedded controller.
>Now what weird to me is where they get hardware from?
Those are just refurbished Lenovo laptops.
>I guess that OS like trisquel are actually made for this kind of
hardware,because i tried it on my new laptop(2013 manufacturing year,one of
the first Richland based AMDs APU with R7 M260 graphics)and my graphics card
performance on both GPU and APU was 5% which is disaster.
Trisquel's kernel was deblobbed. Buguntu's kernel is the vanilla Linux which
ships a trizillion of proprietary firmware on which (particularly in the case
of AMD) 3d acceleration depends. Hence the super crappy performance in the
absence of the latter in Trisquel.
>Now seeing newest ubuntu LTS 14.04.3,and its drivers that are great,hardware
accelerated,openGL performance works the same as on windows ,closedsource are
faster to be honest,much more,and even better performance on openGL rendering
with Ubuntu than on WIndows,but they have some bugs and were causing my
laptop to freeze at random so i decided to keep free drivers.
Proprietary software is never *great*, it is never a solution, on the
contrary it is a huge problem.
>Now seeing this not available in trisquel at all,even if its free,i am
interested in buying some supported hardware,but i dont want to buy old peace
of crap that is sitting on some shelf for 8 years.
ATI drivers (xorg) are free indeed but without the non-free firmware loaded
in the kernel you would still have 5% of the desired performance. There is
nothing "great" about the drivers in Buguntu, it's just that in Buguntu you
are using the non-free firmware (3d acceleration depends on it). You would
have the same performance in any other distro, Trisquel included, if it
shipped the non-free firmware.
As far as "old crap" goes, libreboot is installable *only* on older hardware,
so, excluding the case (which is, lets say, a possibility) the two
proprietary firmware still present in the librebooted hardware - hard drive
and embedded controller - are not doing nasty things, then you are left with
a choice: buy an "old crap" that respects your freedom and is not backdoored
or buy whatever modern lappy which respects the producer's greed and is
without any doubt backdoored.
