Hey @Zeon,
Any chance you still have that libreboot t1650 rom still? I’ve bought your exact setup instead of the rtx 2080 super I have rtx 2070 super founders edition. If you don’t have the rom it’s fine I can build one but just wanted to see the specifics on your rom.
The rom for the T1650 is weird, I tried updating mine and got no display, so I’m sticking with my old rom right now. Are you having the same issue? You can build the rom in lbmk or download the roms from one of the Libreboot mirrors.
I am currently adding support for the Dell Optiplex 9020 MT, it supports a i7 4790K and 32GB of DDR3 1.5v RAM (Non-ECC). The i7-4790K is a little bit faster, like 6% overall, but it’s main feature is having AVX2 support. This increases the peformance drastically for machine learning (e.g. LLMs), compiling peformance, and even virtual machines. It’s basically modern-like gaming computer. It’s actually the first Libreboot desktop computer to support AVX2.
Happy to hear I inspired you to build a Libreboot gaming machine! Stay tuned for the next port, you can expect a release by next week!
OpenBSD is the most pleasing expérience I’ve had with an OS. It’s fully contained and has all the tools you need without needing to install anything (eg a DNS, HTTP, SMTP servers, a proxy, a good firewall).
All config files look alike and use the same keywords for the same things, making it straightforward to configure everything.
And regarding RAID 1, I’ve never done it myself, but it totally works out of the box (as well as full disk encryption).
OpenBSD for all of them.

How is the OpenBSD experience? I have 2x4TB hard drives in my Libreboot server (Dell T1650 motherboard), can I easily setup RAID 1 through the OS?
