nfortunately, ME can't be completely removed starting with Nehalem (2008/2009) unless you're OK with the computer shutting off after 30 minutes. But you can use a script called me_cleaner to remove as much of the ME as possible. I'm not brave enough to try it.

I usually ignore them when I can. Now anyone can make their own "distro". The worst one I've seen is a "distro" made by white supremacists.

Hello. This is a topic that have been in my mind for a while. About those "Distros" we can describe by "Its basically Ubuntu" "Its basically Debian" with no other change than the logos and cover art. I think there is a huge oversaturation of distros, and only a few can stand themselves as Dist

It is easy, look. Coreboot or Libreboot, removes Intel's crap, ME/AMT. So, you get something blobless. On computers with intel's "i" series, AMT/ME can not to be removed (at least at this moment), but it can be neutralized. So yes you can run Coreboot on x220, but still the small non-free blo
