System76 will start taking pre-orders for both the Galago Pro and
Darter Pro laptops. The systems will ship out later in October, and
include the company's Coreboot-based open source firmware which was
previously teased at the 2019 Open Source Firmware Conference.
(Coreboot, formerly known as LinuxBIOS, is a software project aimed at
replacing proprietary firmware found in most computers with a
lightweight firmware designed to perform only the minimum number of
tasks necessary to load and run a modern 32-bit or 64-bit operating
system.) What's so great about ripping out the proprietary firmware
included in machines like this and replacing it with an open
alternative? To begin with, it's leaner. System76 claims that users
can boot from power off to the desktop 29% faster with its
Coreboot-based firmware.
