I’m quite interested in putting coreboot onto my laptop, if that’s possible. But first I want to know if it’s reliable as I’ll be using this laptop for school, and if I can even do it in the first place.

I have an Acer Aspire A515-47, AMD Ryzen 5 5625U. I don’t know any detailed information about the motherboard, nor northbridge or southbridge. I did try to find them but I couldn’t find anything online. I mention these as they were mentioned on the coreboot docs.

Also from the docs, I’ll be doing the internal method as my laptop already, obviously, runs Linux (Fedora Silverblue).

    AMD platform support is coming to coreboot in the next few years, consumer platforms much later and even there I’m doubtful it’d come to your laptop in particular.

    Get a Frame.work with Intel chip if you want coreboot on a modern laptop soon-ish. I know the guy working on that port ;)
