I dont really want to use that proprietary driver, but I plan on getting an old Thinkpad W530 that has some probably pretty slow NVIDIA GPU. Do you know if these are well supported by Noveau? Would be great!

I want to play around with coreboot, flashing heads onto that laptop and all.

Not the person you’re replying to, but I happen to have a writeup on my blog! https://timkenhan.co/blog/20230720--w530-coreboot

Great post! I didnt get the W530 in the end as 350€ is pretty much for such an old laptop, but someone else wanted it so bad…

I destroyed my CH341A and now I got a blue one but still shipping, then I will flash my T430 which should make no problems, no NVIDIA and all

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
