The new Trisquel 9 distro is out and I really think it is great, I have used the "mini" version which supports the fast and light lxde desktop and for this reason is my favorite flavor. At first view you can see that there is some necessary software missing (Firefox-Abrowser for example) and it can be annoying if you wish to make multi functional installations. Therefore there are many programs that allow to remaster a distro or create a live iso of your running system.. However I never liked them.. sometimes I fund issues with the size of the iso created (usually too big) and I never trusted 100% its functionality installing it on different PCs I found out there is a way to "remaster" the original iso manually and including the missing software or making further personalizations. In this case the result will be 100% clean and it will work like the original iso but with the benefit of your own personalizations. As Trisquel is based on Ubuntu, the same process docume...

I have a beautiful t400 running libreboot and still working amazing, however... I needed to boot windows 10 on it ;( I come across some guides on internet to recompile coreboot for this or similar models however the instructions didn't work if you aim to run windows on it.  Obviously re-flashing the stock bios is not a "reasonable" option for me.. and I couldn't find any alternative "ready to go".. so I decided to recompile coreboot and making it capable to boot windows 10 on my t400. From this personal small "project" I got the benefit to be able to boot any other linux distro and any bsd (I have tried freebsd only so far) without any complicated settings to add on the grub configuration. Also, it doesn't include any Intel ME (the same as libreboot) which is a backdoor (https://www.theregister.com/2017/11/20/intel_flags_firmware_flaws/) and I feel like that coreboot and seabios are immune to the recent grub security issues (not sure if they ca...

I have added other 2 repos on my github. Again focus on coreboot and including specific roms for the x230 and the t430 models. For the x230 my exigence was too get out of the skulls roms building something more personalized. For the t430 it was a new challenge, and as I couldn't find on internet any specific or ready to go configuration, I hope it could help in future projects focus on automatizing the process of flashing custom bios.

I couldn't find any specific coreboot instructions for the thinkpad t400. Then I got the idea to create a rom including the vga to be able to  boot windows or any linux or bsd.  I have also included the config file. It's all posted on my github. https://github.com/m4rc0linux
