- Still just old stuff...
  
  I have one of that era! Which is cool!
  
  But my Novacustom 11th Gen Intel Laptop just works for modern stuff.
- Leave it to reality to squash my hopes.
  
  I have an ancient laptop in storage, and I wonder if it's one of those.
Should I say "libre boot" or "lib reboot?"

Question: if a Linux distro already installs grub, why would I want something like this?
- Grub is a bootloader, not the firmware/BIOS which is used to initialize the hardware
- If I‘m not totally mistaken, libreboot is about you getting more control over your machine, ie disabling intel management engine.
