Which x86 devices ship with a free UEFI/ACPI? Or even allow users to replace the preinstalled UEFI/ACPI with a free one?
2 comments

I've a bunch of devices running coreboot with a Tianocore payload, but they're largely either very weird and now unavailable or I haven't upstreamed them so it's not super helpful, but it's absolutely not impossible and you can certainly buy Librebooted devices

https://doc.coreboot.org/distributions.html seems to say Purism, Star Labs, and System76

(Edit: actually weirdly enough Librem seems to be using a different coreboot payload instead of edk2, but the other 2 stand)

So many Chromebooks: https://docs.mrchromebox.tech/docs/supported-devices.html
