Just got recommended a video on how to coreboot a T480.I clicked on it, even though I already did that, and it taught me how add a UEFI payload! So I guess I found a little weekend project to do ^^

It's coreboot time!And I'm already learning stuff again.My understanding from Libreboot was that IFD, ME and GbE images always have to be included in the image I want to flash.But it seems like flashrom can be used with --ifd -i bios in order to not touch anything except the bios.Of course only works, if one doesn't want to change the IFD layout, which I don't, as I already flashed Libreboot previously, so I already have the Libreboot layout.Soooo, I think I can just compile and flash mainline coreboot :neobot_think:

But first: Build environment! This time I won't make the same mistake as last time, and try to compile it on the laptop itself. That took forever.

Omg, this worked! I have a working EKD2 menu and UEFI shell!Now ofc the OS won't boot anymore, because it was installed legacy-only, but that's getting replaced now anyways.I ended up building a full image, based on the resources I found through the youtube video.It's a bit weird how the person does the build in a Dockerfile, but eh, it worked. Though I already modified it quite a bit to fit my liking.I'll test a few more things, now that I know it's working :3

The OS I'm installing on it now is probably a surprise to absolutely no one :neobot_giggle:

And successfully installed KDE with Wayland :3Nice!Though I immediately hit a very funny bug, where plasma was using 100% CPU, which turned out to be related to the clock widget showing seconds :neobot_laugh: https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/trying-to-run-kde-6-plasma-with-wayland.93951/page-31#post-748576
