Appreciation post for my pristine & mighty W530 - almost filled to the brim!

Moved from Windows to Debian Linux on the T420
Nice! Have you thought of changing to an open source BIOS with Skulls? It's more secure and faster. You can now flash it with a flash drive using 1vyrain.

Why the heck are X230s running at around $300 on eBay?
i did the easiest one... 1vyrain, which is basically a softmod for the bios.. coreboot and libreboot are a different beast altogether, and afaik a physical bios flasher that you clamp to the bios chip...

Help getting custom splash screen on 1vyrain BIOS (T430)
I also tried just installing the 1vyrain BIOS but this process deleted the custom splash screen. Do i somehow combine the T430.rom from the patched-bios repo with the 4M.rom file i prepared?

You can use bios dump from 1vyrain project. Not exactly stock but it will work. https://github.com/n4ru/patched-bioses

Flashing 1vyrain with custom boot splash image
Regarding step 4 with patching the patches from the patched bios (I presume is from here, how would I exactly go about doing that?
What are some alternatives?
When comparing 1vyrain and patched-bioses you can also consider the following projects:
coreboot - Read-only mirror of https://review.coreboot.org/coreboot.git. Synced every hour. We don't handle Pull Requests.
skulls - pre-built coreboot images and documentation on how to flash them for Thinkpad Laptops
IVprep - Downgrade any xx30 series ThinkPad to an 1vyrain compatible BIOS version.
thinkpad-ec - Infrastructure for examining and patching Thinkpad embedded controller firmware
heads - A minimal Linux that runs as a coreboot or LinuxBoot ROM payload to provide a secure, flexible boot environment for laptops, workstations and servers.
