      It’s a coreboot distribution (FOSS BIOS/UEFI), so technically it works on more things than advertised.

      To install it it does require a little bit of preparation. There’s a lot of commands you have to run using a custom compiler toolchain to build an image for your board. The hardest part is disassembling the laptop, if you have an older one, which is mostly what Libreboot targets.
