These machines are intended for security-conscious people who also believe in the ideals of the <a href="https://writefreesoftware.org/">free software movement</a>, and want something easy to use. Perfect for privacy software like Tor Browser or Tails; you can also run <a href="https://www.qubes-os.org/">Qubes OS</a> on these machines.</p> <p><strong><a href="/shipping.html">Shipping worldwide</a>, from the United Kingdom (UK).</strong> Minifree ships to UK/Europe, USA, Canada, South America, Australia, Asia, and everywhere else. Works in every country; power supplies are 120-240v auto-switching. <strong>Free technical support</strong> via email/IRC <strong>plus <a href="/warranty.html">5-year warranty</a> as standard.</strong></p> <p><a href="/about.html">Leah Rowe</a>, the owner of Minifree, is also the founder of Libreboot, and lead developer; Minifree profits directly fund the Libreboot project. These computers are sold, specifically because we believe in the ideals of the Free Software movement. We want everyone to be able to do all of their computing with only <em>free and open source software</em>. This is done purely on ideological grounds, but there are many practical advantages.</p> <p>Libreboot offers many advanced security features that you can’t get anywhere else, such as <a href="https://libreboot.org/docs/linux/#encrypted-boot-via-luks2-with-argon2">true full-disk encryption</a> and features surpassing that of UEFI Secure Boot, such as <a href="https://libreboot.org/docs/linux/grub_hardening.html">full GPG signature checking of your Linux kernel</a>. Libreboot is designed to be easy to use for novices, making <em>coreboot</em> more accessible for non-technical users, but it is also <a href="https://libreboot.org/docs/maintain/">highly configurable</a>, allowing you to modify your boot firmware in whatever way you wish.</p> <p>Essentially, the benefit of using Libreboot is the same as using a Linux/BSD system, versus proprietary counterparts; Libreboot gives you a much greater level of control over your own computing, albeit it at a much deeper level than if you merely installed a free operating system.</p> <div id="footer"> <hr /> <p>Minifree Ltd | Registered in England, No. 9361826 | VAT No. GB202190462 Registered Office: 19 Hilton Road, Canvey Island, Essex SS8 9QA, UK | <a href="/contact.html">Contact</a>.</p> <p>Prices shown on the product pages exclude UK VAT 20%.
