Libreboot is a 100% free/libre BIOS replacement that gives you complete control over your hardware. Unlike proprietary BIOS firmware, Libreboot eliminates backdoors and puts YOU in control.

Why Libreboot Matters:

• 🔐 No Intel Management Engine (IME) - Eliminates remote access backdoors and vulnerabilities
• 🔐 100% Open Source Firmware - Fully auditable code you can trust and verify
• 🔐 Enhanced Security - No proprietary blobs, no hidden code, no vendor lock-in
• 🔐 Software Freedom - FSF-endorsed, RYF (Respects Your Freedom) certifiable
• 🔐 Privacy-First Computing - Perfect for journalists, activists, security researchers, privacy advocates

📝 Note about Linux Installation: Your laptop will come with Linux Mint 22.3 Cinnamon pre-installed and configured (auto-login enabled with default credentials: user/user).

💡 Shipping Tip: Pack your laptop securely with bubble wrap or foam. Remove any loose items (charger, accessories) and pack them separately. Use a sturdy box and ensure the laptop won't move during transit.

from the time I receive your laptop until it's shipped back to you

• ⚠️ BACKUP YOUR DATA! I am not responsible for data loss. Always backup all important files before shipping your laptop. The installation process will erase existing data.
• ⚠️ Update your EC Firmware: It is strongly recommended that you update your laptop to the latest EC firmware version before proceeding to ensure compatibility and stability.
• ⚠️ Verify Compatibility: Only Dell OptPlex 3050 Micro is compatible so far. If you're unsure about your exact model, message me before purchasing with your laptop's model number.
• ⚠️ Ship Securely: Pack your laptop and its charger well and use tracked shipping. I recommend insuring high-value laptops during shipping TO me (Australia Post offers affordable insurance options).
• ⚠️ Warranty Notice: Libreboot installation may void any remaining manufacturer warranty. Most compatible models are out of warranty, but please be aware of this before proceeding.
• ⚠️ Hardware Requirements: Your laptop must be in working condition with functional display, motherboard, and basic components. I cannot repair hardware faults - this is a firmware installation service only.
• ⚠️ No Refunds After Work Begins: Once I receive your laptop and begin the Libreboot installation, refunds cannot be issued. Please ask all questions before purchasing!
• ⚠️ Feature Compatibility: Some proprietary features (Windows, certain hardware features) will not work after Libreboot installation. This is expected and normal - your laptop will run Linux exclusively.

🔒 Privacy Recommendation: For maximum data privacy, we strongly recommend either:

This ensures your personal data never leaves your possession.
