"We never received a quote for the actual porting, but they said the evaluation cost is typically 10% of the total cost, which would mean the porting would have cost around $33,000 for Dasharo-branded coreboot, and $66,000 for unbranded coreboot. Even their highly discounted Dasharo-branded porting comes out to around $250 to $330 an hour, and that’s if they started from scratch. We had 80%+ of the job already complete. We just needed to debug our code."

How can you be champion of open source if you employ such practices? Double the cost?

I had the same thought . Maybe the title should be updated to better reflect this

Thank you! As a musician I often complain about having to dual boot to get access to all the really good plugins. Mostly due to me not knowing where to find decent enough plugins without having to rely on hacky workarounds using wine

I personally like keeping my root partition to a minimal and ever since docker came into the picture I keep running into spacing issues. So the allure for me to switch isn't technical but for peace of mind storing images in userspace

2 days ago I shutdown my laptop and all was working out great at that point. Now yesterday I turned back on to get some work done and couldn't pass maintenance mode because my home partition got corrupted somehow. Took me all day literally to get it working. I have since changed that partition back to ext4 leaving only / as btrfs
