I have old Thinkpad 230 with Coreboot. From the user’s point of view, when using the Linux distributions, I don’t feel any difference between Coreboot and a regular BIOS. Coreboot or Libreboot installation can sometimes be difficult, you may need a separate hardware programmer and it can be difficult to connect the wires to the contacts.








Older people sometimes have their own quirks. We’re all getting old. Bad situation. I hope you will be fine somehow.
