hey there :)

nice effort, though I just have to say one thing:

I took one glance at the website for libretrend and saw: "core i7"

Which means that these systems are proprietary, and not libre at all. They come with the Intel Management Engine out of the box:

Furthermore, coreboot these days doesn't actually have source code. Most of the hardware initialization is handled by binary blobs.

These libretrend systems are *not* libreboot-compatible.

I say these things only for those people who wish to have an entirely libre system. For people who don't care and just want coreboot (regardless of blobs) and a free OS, then libretrend is OK. But know what you are buying!

If you want a fully libre system, FSF-endorsed, with libreboot preinstalled, then buy from one of these companies:
