Do you flash Libreboot or Canoeboot?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I have used the fedora boot program for my last usb install.

I've not heard of that. Does Fedora have its own coreboot distro, or is it something else?

Ohhh I thought you were talking about flashing software for inputting the iso into the usb like Rufus.

I haven’t swapped out the BIOS/UEFI firmware before.

Compatibility with Libreboot/Canoeboot seems to be one of the main advantages of certain Thinkpad models, so it might be something to check out. :)

(For creating a bootable USB drive from a .iso file, can you not simply use the dd command?)

Thanks for letting me know about these options. I haven’t tried the dd command though.
