T430 classic keyboard mod help needed - can't flash the EC
Hi all, some of you might be familiar with the T430 classic keyboard hack. I seem to be stuck. I followed the instructions here to physically modify the keyboard. I downgraded my BIOS to the 2.81 version. I installed Linux Mint on a spare SSD, booted into it, and followed the github instructions here to create the bootable USB. However, when I boot the USB to modify the firmware, I run into an error message before it starts. I'm not quite sure what it means or how to get it to proceed. Does anyone have any experience with this?

Using coreboot for keybinds?
If your notebook is a thinkpad from the xx30 series you can do a custom keymap for the embedded controller with thinpad-ec - you'd need to flash back bios, update EC, flash back coreboot. I've done that to have a native dvorak keyboard with control on the right position.

Coreboot vs Ivyrain vs Skulls vs Heads
In regards to unlocking third-party batteries on the Ivy Bridge ThinkPad laptops, this is handled by the embedded controller firmware, stored on a completely separate chip from the system firmware. On these systems, coreboot is not concerned with the embedded controller functionality at all. There is a separate project that handles this: thinkpad-ec

New X230 battery showing constant 0%
I bought an aliexpress battery and have gone through the process of the battery patch. I can now run with the battery, and get a decent 6ish hours off of it. Fantastic.

Tools for Linux Distro Hoppers
Ventoy is an open-source tool to create a bootable USB drive for ISO/WIM/IMG/VHD(x)/EFI files. Using Ventoy, we can create live USB for multiple distros in one flash disk. This is a revolutionary feature compared to other tools, e.g., Etcher, Rufus, etc, that can only create one live USB at a time. This tool is so important. Don't call yourself a distro hopper if you don't know this tool.

I'm thinking you mean Ventoy? They say they can load vhd and img files, though I've only tried ISO's myself.

How to Boot ISO Files from GRUB2 Boot Loader
> While this works, I find this method a bit tedious to use, at least compared to Ventoy [0].
I find ventoy more tedious, because you can't use it on your hard drive with a sane partitioning scheme.
The only reason is because of how the ventoy detection hardcode the partition boundaries in its checks, and it means Ventoy can only run with the partitions set in a way that may lead to alignment issues like write-amplification: I've detailed that in https://github.com/ventoy/Ventoy/issues/1342
Ideally I'd have a 10G partition after the EFI (or it could even be the EFI itself) with a few ISOs for rescue purposes + a UEFI entry to avoid having to use a bootable USB, but that's not possible with Ventoy unless I accept Ventoy choices of partition boundaries:

Booting from a bootable USB flash stick?
I downloaded and made a bootable USB Ventoy (https://www.ventoy.net) with its Windows GUI app in my updated 64-bit W10 Pro PC. However, I couldn't seem to get VirtualBox v7.0.12 to boot it. I read VirtualBox can boot from bootable USB flash sticks so it should work. Am I missing something?

Attempt Q4OS install on Netbook, BUT "unable to install grub in /dev/sda"...solutions?
So, yes. The installer will need to install grub to that first partition. You can install ventoy to a usb drive, put a windows iso there and your q4os iso. In case you mess up big time, you can reinstall windows.
