Not saying you have to, but just FYI, those models can be flashed with a FLOSS firmware: https://osboot.org
I believe it *does* require some soldering, though.

735 followers · 8888 posts · Server fosstodon.orgHere we go:
for x in *; do [[ -d $x ]] || continue; mountpoint "$x" &>/dev/null && continue; printf "%6d %s\n" $(find "$x" -xdev -type d |wc -l) "$x"; done |sort -n
Ahh, my git clone of #osboot gave me 15000 dirs, lol.

735 followers · 8888 posts · Server fosstodon.orgNOICE! I'm planning on moving one box to #OpenBSD, but I'm currently stuck on learning how to compile #osboot for my thinkpad X200 so it can boot into an encrypted OpenBSD partition. The X200 currently has libreboot with a grub payload, but grub can't handle the encryption, for some reason, and doesn't support BSD fully well. I want to compile OSboot with a SEABIOS payload, which is more compatible.

735 followers · 8892 posts · Server fosstodon.orgHad to go back to #Linux on my X200.
#Libreboot can't boot to an encrypted #OpenBSD disk, and I managed to somehow bungle my /etc/login.conf file. I booted into the recovery image (bsd.rd) and used ed 😳 to try to fix the file, but no luck. I only changed two numbers and added a comment, but somehow I corrupted the file. It also gives me scrambled video in text mode, so I'm installing #Devuan until I can learn how to compile and flash #osboot.

735 followers · 8892 posts · Server fosstodon.orgGood to know. I'm running badblocks on the thumb drive, just to see if that might be the issue.
I might have to look at flashing #osboot or #seabios if #libreboot doesn't support #OpenBSD

Let's see how far we can go with completely free software 😍 It already boots super fast thanks to #osboot and I'm curious about the OS. Maybe I'll also try #TailsOS , just to have a look at #Tor and all the privacy features.
