📰 Star Labs StarFighter Ultra: A Modern High-End Linux Laptop With Coreboot
When it comes to Linux pre-loaded laptops, I have looked at hardware from most of these vendors over the past 22+ years of Phoronix. One vendor I haven't had the chance to personally test until now is the UK-based Star Labs. That changed recently and over the past few weeks I have been testing out their new StarFighter laptop that offers great Linux support and comes pre-loaded with Coreboot and streamlined firmware updates via LVFS.

They also would like to see PGO supported for Linux kernel modules rather than just the main Linux kernel image.

📰 The best thing about Debian is how old all of its software is
Debian’s old software is often discussed as its biggest weakness when compared to other distros. But when I picked Debian for my own home server, I specifically chose it because of those years-old versions. I am running bare-metal Debian on an old business laptop with more than 20 stacks, and Debian is the least concerning element in the homelab, and that sounds the opposite for software this old.
