Good morning I can install the coreboot firmware on my dell alienware 17 with Linux mint (updated to the latest version)?

I think you meant to ask if it's possible to do. That can't be answered without more information about the hardware... A lot more.
At a minimum the precise model of mainboard, or a precise model number.

No Dell Alienware laptops are currently supported, so no, you can't just install coreboot on it. It might be possible to port it (make coreboot work on it), but laptops are pretty hard to port because of the embedded controller: an often-undocumented microcontroller running proprietary firmware.
