Finding out that t2linux is too broken was like finding out that Santa isn't real

You can run libreboot on newer devices but the Intel ME is needed to boot. Apparently the device shuts off after 15min without it.

With that being said it is possible to disable it after boot

Hmm, intel was sued by the literal NSA for the ME so they now need to include a setting for it.

You need to place a specific bit in the BIOS and then it is disabled. This should not cause any problems.

But for some reason, which may be a faulty USB flash install, Dasharo Coreboot on a Clevo NV41 loses the TPM when disabling the ME.

I have 2 nitrokeys so might just use that as secure element instead of my TPM.
