Request for advise - Kubuntu 24.04 LTS & Libreboot at HP EliteBook 2570p.

[girard henri]

Mayb I wont answer your question, but I use ubuntu /w12 dev , after 
about 20 years I decided to use windows/ wsl ubuntu and a dual boot 
ubuntu, and more I wanted to try arch so I installet it on an us3b which 
seems to be even quicker than my ssd disks !

windows/wsl linux is really great !

thanks

Best

Henri
