       A Libreboot contributor added ThinkPad X280 support to Libreboot a while ago, but I never got round to setting up mine until today. No idea wtf I did wrong when *I* tried adding it, but hey, it works.Thank you "AlguienSasaki" for adding it, and thank you Johann C. Rode for porting this wonderful ThinkPad to coreboot!And I installed OpenBSD on mine. Because of course I did. Why the hell would I *not* install OpenBSD on every computer that I own? OpenBSD is the best thing since the telephone.

       @libreleah was wondering… does replacing Lenovo BIOS with coreboot prevent some of the hardware to work or be recognised by an OS without modification? Or is this a drop-in replacement without blobs?

       @joel no, everything still works just fine. linux/bsd will work nicely. no modification required.

       @libreleah Huh.  I once tried to put OpenBSD on a laptop (I can't remember if it was a thinkpad or a macbook) and the install went fine but I was never able to config a full GUI environment.  I was repeatedly warned that daily driving OpenBSD in this way was not recommended.  But I wanted to learn about BSD so I tried it (and failed).  Maybe I will give it another shot.  Thanks for the inspiration!

       @jamesvasile @libreleah I hope whoever told you not to daily drive OpenBSD on a laptop is not still giving out advice, because that's absolutely garbage advice. OpenBSD is really, really good on Thinkpads, older Intel Macbooks (pre T2 era), and pretty much any standard Intel or AMD PC. Their fork of Xorg (Xenocara) is in the base installation and out of the box the only thing you have to do to get an X desktop is answer "yes" to the question in installation asking if you want one, or if you answered "no" during installation you can (as root) "rcctl enable xenodm" and reboot. OpenBSD is really good on the desktop because its developers run it as their workstations, i.e. they "dogfood" the OS so that they are able to see what is needed for all use cases and improve the OS accordingly. If you'd like to follow a guide to setting up an Xfce desktop on OpenBSD, I wrote one a while back: https://www.kaidenshi.com/posts/openbsd-as-a-daily-driver/...and there are other guides out there as well.

       this is me rickrolling myself at 4k in openbsd. i only have a 1080p screen, but the yt video is set to 4k. and this is openbsd, running on my librebooted x280. librewolf running in openbsd, running on libreboot, running on x280. yes.i wanted to make sure my port compiled on at least one other machine than my main obsd dev machine. *now* i'm happy to submit this to the openbsd ports mailing list for review. yes. yes. yes.
