Haven't heard of this, can you share more context or a link to a story about this?

#4I never understood what Libreboot does on top of Coreboot. As far as I could tell it's a "distro" of Coreboot that just disables some things and maybe adds a few patches.
All the heavy lifting is done by Coreboot.

This? https://libreboot.org/freedom-status.html
I wouldn't call it drama. There's often important practical reasons to try to minimize closed parts of the firmware. See also the high-security / high-trustworthiness work of Purism.

Pretty much +95% of the Linux distros are like this.

I'm pretty sure that "drama" is the whole reason Libreboot exists, instead of just merging into the Coreboot project it's based on.
