It was less than a year ago when we announced our new Librem Mini campaign . We wanted to offer people a powerful and accessible desktop PC in a mini form-factor running the same free firmware and operating system as our laptops. The Librem Mini campaign was a big success and now we are excited to an…

Thanks for your quick reply, Kyle. This is incredibly exciting news (for me, at least!). I have spent countless hours trying to work out what desktop computer I could buy to run Qubes, but have never found anything relatively new that was guaranteed to work. Am I right in understanding that, when…

Either coreboot + SeaBIOS or PureBoot would work. It just depends on which boot firmware you would want to use. The Librem Key works with PureBoot, and Qubes VMs can use it as well, provided they have the proper openpgp software installed (and optionally Nitrokey’s userspace software if you want fea…

Thanks for your quick response. It sounds as if I will have to do some research on having “the proper openpgp software installed (and optionally Nitrokey’s userspace software”!

Thanks @Kyle_Rankin I’m glad I saw this or i might have been frustrated. I have a overstuffed mini v2 sitting in my cart. If I can run qubes-os and see pureos in 3840x2160 then I am going to have to buy it. For the qubes-os - can you provide version numbers? Are you saying that 4.0.4-rc1 will r…

@Kyle_Rankin is the v2 coming with the s970pro or the newer s980pro ? the new NVME drives were announced by Shangsung but i don’t know if you guys can put that in my order as it is right now ?

Forgive me if this was answered already, but how is the Mini v2 stacking up in terms of software freedom? More specifically, is Purism aiming at obtaining an RYF certification, and if not, what are the non-free parts?

That would be cool, though I don’t believe the Intel Management Engine is completely removed yet (mostly, but not completely). When/if that is done, RYF certification could probably obtained for their laptops as well.

The Librem Mini v2 (just like the Librem 13/14/15) has the following proprietary blobs: Between 8% and 10% of the Intel Management Engine still exists (i.e., the part which is required for booting has not been replaced with zeros) Intel microcode Intel Firmware Support Package (FSP) The only way …

Between 8% and 10% of the Intel Management Engine still exists (i.e., the part which is required for booting has not been replaced with zeros) I apologise in advance for what may be a ‘stupid’ question, but why does Librem Mini require 8-10% of Intel ME “for booting” while NitroPad claims that Int…

Librem mini v2 & QUBES - I'm late to the show! Hardware

Mini v1 works with Qubes 4.0.3 stable Mini v2 works with Qubes 4.1.0-alpha1 (and newer) The dom0 kernel for 4.0.3 stable is too old to support the hardware in the Mini v2 (and upcoming Librem 14) edit: Mini v2 (and Librem 14) will also work with 4.0.4 (stable)
