That's what I ended up doing and it worked. I think I used like FreeDOS or something like that.
Yes, I install Libreboot myself with a RaspberryPi and Pomona 5250 testing clip. Anything that's already supported by Coreboot, can be supported to Libreboot. They have a list of hardware that they currently support listed here:
https://libreboot.org/docs/hardware/#supported-hardware
I actually sold Libreboot laptops previously on eBay, I used to sell the T440p a lot. Now, I'm about to setup my own website so I can start selling them for even cheaper. I also helped add Libreboot support for the Dell Optiplex 9020/7020 (Real thanks goto Mate Kukri, as I used his Optiplex port from Coreboot).

You right, my bad bro
Exactly, it's not crazy to think like that. I mean, the person who said that could be right, but still, let's not immediately jump to conclusions by saying they have mental issues.
Didn't mean it like that. The girl I just talked to came to me first. I really don't expect every girl to come of me but you're right regardless. I just was a bit sad.
