Greatest “Classic” Mac Laptop: Powerbook G3 Pismo
I also have an X230 that I bought from a local recycler. Its small but also a bit on the chunky side when it comes to weight and thickness. I do enjoy using it though. I put a SATA SSD and a mSATA SSD in it, upped the RAM to 16GB, replaced the Bluetooth adapter with a USB plug that I have a Logitech Unify Adapter plugged into, and replaced the stock BIOS with Skulls (which also nuked most of the Intel ME) https://github.com/merge/skulls/
Since its running Coreboot/SeaBIOS now it won't boot Windows. That's fine though became it runs the XFCE edition of Manjaro just fine.

Skulls loaded on the first boot but then nothing
I just flashed Skulls BIOS on a Lenovo Thinkpad T440p but successful boots are rare — usually the display doesn't turn on & CPU fan promptly turns off and no error beeps occur. Only the power button stays lit up.

Raspberry Pi OS: Where are the the pi_bcm2835 and spidev files? Is "/etc/modules.load.ed" the same as "/etc/modules"?
I'm trying to flash Skulls BIOS using this guide and one of the steps states "For flashrom we put pi_bcm2835 and spidev in /etc/modules". Where can I find the pi_bcm2835 and spidev files?

"enable_uart=1" missing from /boot/config.txt file
I'm trying to flash Skulls BIOS using this guide and one of the steps states "in the SD Cards's /boot/config.txt file enable_uart=1 and dtparam=spi=on". I found the file but it doesn't contain any "uart" entries. Would pasting the entry under "dtparam=spi=on" and saving it achieve the same result?
- What laptops that support Internal method for initial instillation?

Just wanted to clarify some things
Skulls comes close to a "download and execute" experience.

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.
- Undoing 1vyrain?

Thinkpad x230 skulls/coreboot problem.
Known problem. See https://github.com/merge/skulls/issues/231
What are some alternatives?
When comparing t430-coreboot and skulls you can also consider the following projects:
me_cleaner - Tool for partial deblobbing of Intel ME/TXE firmware images
x220-coreboot - My my coreboot built for the thinkpad x220, including vga bootsplash, boot menu wait set to 1 sec, and me_cleaner
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.
coreboot-builder-scripts - Bash scripts and config files to simplify building of Coreboot using the official coreboot-sdk docker image
