Hmm, I'm not sure... I must admit, I only use SeaBIOS, not GRUB, so I wouldn't know how to configure it
Yeah, that's basically right. I believe flashprog is also included in libreboot, have a look in the elf/ directory. After that, it should work as expected
Oh you can still do that. The path changed to elf/cbfstool/[TREE]/cbfstool (replace [TREE] with the tree concerened). Note that since the switch to the libre RAM init code, mrc.bin is not included anymore
Their firmware isn't opensource. At least not fully. Only the EC firmware has been opensourced, that is the firmware for the micro-controller responsible for the battery, keyboard, buttons, LEDs, sensors, and so on...
The boot firmware, responsible for getting the CPU and hardware in a bootable state, is absolutely proprietary. There is initial support for one specific framework motherboard in coreboot, a partially libre boot firmware, but it's very new and I don't know exactly what is and isn't supported...
I thank you meant "completely", which is totally different to "complacently"
They've been pretty tame lately, but there have been issues historically that made a lot of people (rightfully) mad. You ca read on them here: https://manjarno.pages.dev/
Probably never. Gnome is working on their own mobile port. If I'm not mistaken this is partly due to the fact that Phosh and Gnome diverged too far from one another. Although I think some Phosh code is being reused.
Fair but Ubuntu Touch is not mainline Linux. It's a hack to get a GNU/systemd Userland working with an Android kernel (which arguably is also a huge feat)
Sure, but PMOS is by far the most complete and "daily-ready" mobile mainline Linux distro out there. In fact I'm pretty sure both Mobian and MoA use the PMOS kernels...
No. Most people mean PostmarketOS, which is Busybox/musl/Linux
Oh come on. "Rice" by far outgrew it's racist part. 99.999% of people using the term don't use it as a dog whistle...
I don't know what the problem is. I'm trying to rule things out one after the other.
Maybe try using systemd-boot instead of GRUB?
