## Stability:

[link]

- Untested: The GNU Boot maintainers are not aware of anybody who tested GNU Boot 0.1 RC1 on that computer. If you have GNU Boot on this computer please report if it works or not (for instance by opening a bug report).

- Tested: Someone tested GNU Boot 0.1 RC1 on that computer and reported to the GNU Boot that it at least booted fine.

- Daily users: Some people contacted the GNU Boot maintainers and volunteered to send bug reports if installing GNU Boot made the computer unusable or very hard to use (like a memory corruption that makes it impossible to boot certain GNU/Linux distributions or crashes the computer randomly). If you want to help GNU Boot with that, please contact the maintainers through a bug report.

## Installation instructions:

[link]

- Untested: Nobody tested the GNU Boot installation instructions for this computer.

- Can be simplified: There is work in progress to simplify the instructions by having GNU Boot release the tools required to do the installation and by requiring to keep the computer connected to the electricity (by keeping its power supply connected) instead of requiring to disassemble it to check a battery voltage.

- Tested: The installation instructions worked well.

- Missing: There are no installation instructions for this device and we need help from contributors to add them.

## Coreboot status:

[link]

- Maintained / Unmaintained: GNU Boot depends on Coreboot to support specific computers. So if Coreboot stops supporting a computer that GNU Boot supports, then it will become harder and harder to support that computer in GNU Boot over time and at some point GNU Boot will likely stop supporting it unless someone adds back that computer in Coreboot. And if a computer has no maintainer in Coreboot it increases the likelihood that it will be removed at some point.

- Removed: Coreboot already removed the support for this computer.

- Similar to : There is no official support for this computer in Coreboot but using the code from the other computer mentioned works.

## Coreboot GPU driver:

[link]

- old GPU driver / new GPU driver: Some computers uses an old GPU driver written in C that could have some stability issues that were fixed in the new GPU driver written in ADA. When the field is blank, it means that we didn’t look at which GPU driver was used or its stability.
