Hello, I checked the vendor section of the coreboot website which states that System76 sells desktops and laptops with Coreboot. While system76 does sell laptops with coreboot, I couldn't find any clear statement regarding their desktops on system76's website. I contacted them previous week to verify that info and it turns out their desktops do not include Coreboot. Here is part of the answer that was given to me by the sales team on 10th of January 2023:" We have not yet ported Coreboot to any of our desktop models, they are all currently using proprietary motherboard vendor firmware." So I would recommend deleting the reference to their desktops on coreboot's website as it's a bit misleading. By the way, I couldn't find any company selling desktops with Coreboot preinstalled. At all. Crap, things have to change :) ! Cheers.

Hi Julien,

I think you haven't been searching long enough :) We (3mdeb) offer an Alder Lake-S desktop with coreboot/Dasharo open-source firmware preinstalled in two forms:
1. MOBO only: https://3mdeb.com/shop/open-source-hardware/dasharo-compatible-with-msi-pro-... 2. Full PC build: https://3mdeb.com/shop/open-source-hardware/dasharo-compatible-with-msi-pro-...

Best regards,
I assume you mean the info on https://doc.coreboot.org/distributions.html.
System76 manufactures Linux laptops, desktops, and servers. Some models are sold with System76 Open Firmware, an open source distribution of coreboot, edk2, and System76 firmware applications.
System76 *does* make desktops. But only laptops ("some models") are able to be ported to coreboot.
