As far as I can see, the T440p is the latest Thinkpad to support Coreboot/skulls.

If I wanted something newer (say, something from 2019-2022 or so) under $400, what could I even get? I want to run my own choice of linux distribution on it, so most chromebooks are out of the question (also I'd like something more powerful and upgradeable).

Thanks.

Thanks, I should have thought of this before. Used System76 laptops are a great idea, and I'm sure I can find spare parts.

I don't like how Chromebooks restrict me from running a different OS (especially in the newer generations), but other than that, yes they are a great idea.

I have nothing but good things to say about system76. They are everything we wanted a Linux-focused hardware vendor to be. I've owned three of their laptops with no major issues.

Good luck, I hope you find something that works for you.

Do you use System76 laptops for work?

[-] unix_joe@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 year ago

No, unfortunately I use the trash they give me for the job. Low end ThinkPads and Elitebooks.

So that's why it's nice to come back to a decent system at the end of the day.
