Linux

It's sad but true. I'm just so baffled as to why? Wouldn't anyone just be curious to figure out how stuff works? Think of all the brilliant minds out there who are being cut off simply because of corporate greed. Not only that, but they're deemed as criminals for making it do something it wasn't intended to do (e.g. Xbox 360 w/ RGH). I just think we're wasting so much potential to make the world a better place. And we can already see the love behind just using and creating software while following the Free Software philosophy.

My goal is to help people, maybe you or anyone else might be interested, to get to actually USE their computers, understand how they work, etc.

The creator of Libreboot, Leah Rowe, and I are making support for the Dell Optiplex 9020 MT. It's a Haswell motherboard that supports a i7 4790K, 32GB DDR3 RAM, you can also use a 2080 SUPER (or anything else), without the need for any proprietary BIOS firmware (eventually, we still need to reverse engineer 1-2 blobs). It has internal flashing capabilites, so no need to buy flashing equipment, all you need is an insulated screwdriver to short one of the SERVICE_MODE pins, which unlocks the flash chip basically. This allows you to flash the firmware through the OS, which makes it 10x easier for anyone to start using Libreboot. The motherboard you can buy on eBay right now for about $20, or you can buy the whole PC for like $100-$120. Still though, isn't enough but it will be a step in the right direction.
