I would love to try flashing a #Thinkpad with #Coreboot/#Libreboot at some point, but after seeing what it involves (flash plugs etc.), I'm not so sure I want to step any closer to the edge of that rabbit hole. I can already see the hours of trial and error and stress, with potentially nothing to show for it. I have a habit of putting too much on my plate...

I'm really considering investing in a @PINE64 #PinePhone, and will probably aim to run @debian on it. Have you got one? Let me know your thoughts. #linux #debian #foss
