[Trisquel-users] Re : Buying a Trisquel laptop in France

[magicbanana]

As far as I understand, coreboot will *not* run on any laptop but Gluglug one  
(out of the box) and the Chromebooks (after tinkering).

Linux-libre perfectly handles Intel graphical chipset and pretty much any  
other basic component (CPU, RAM, screen, keyboard, Ethernet card, DVD  
reader/writer, etc.) but the Wifi card. Unless it is second-hand, you cannot  
know what is the Wifi chipset of the card inside the laptop you buy. You may  
be lucky (it is riven by ath9k) but you cannot count on it. That is why I  
advised you to buy this component from ThinkPenguin, which is, to the best of  
my knowledge, the only company that guarantees that the hardware it sells is  
perfectly handled by Linux-libre.
