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).

    So then how come Nova Custom do modern intel CPUs?

    From the looks of it Coreboot just doesn’t support AMD.

      I know of exactly 1 AMD corebooot laptop. Starlabs Starfighter.

      For coreboot you’re basically on Intel. As others mentioned, look up dasharo. They have added support for two modern MSI motherboards and Intel cpu models.
