▲ 55 ▼ Is gaming with Coreboot (or any other open source bios) viable? (lemmy.sdf.org) submitted 2 years ago by BD89@lemmy.sdf.org to c/linux@lemmy.ml 20 comments fedilink hide all child comments I am looking to build a Linux gaming machine with open source firmware and Intel ME disabled. Is this viable?
[–] cmnybo@discuss.tchncs.de 22 points 2 years ago (1 child) AMD has the Platform Security Processor. While it supposedly doesn't have network access, it's still a block box with full access to all memory. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] TMP_NKcYUEoM7kXg4qYe@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 child) As far as I know it's also less documented. People have dug really deep into Intel ME that they even found a bit that disables most of the ME. On the other hand AMD is planning to use coreboot compatible open firmware in the next EPYC generation. Knowing AMD, it will eventually come to the consumer market too. (We'll see if it will be available before Red Hat drops x11) Also there was a phoronix article recently that Intel is too messing around with Coreboot on Xeon. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] far_university190@feddit.org 1 point 2 years ago i think amd said plan bring open source agesa to consumer after epyc. permalink fedilink source parent
