coreboot/libreboot saves that much battery? I thought it just handled the initialisation of devices and the devices were handed over to the kernel (and the drivers that come along with it) as soon as boot was done. Aren’t the battery savings down to superior power management drivers?
a system that comes with either core or libre boot is going to have hardware that’s intended to work with them; also meaning that the open sourced software that controls the power is an exact match, giving an improved life.
it’s not so much that core/libreboot are a determinant factor; but more so an indicator.
