Binary Blob Reduction Policy in November 2022, as part of a general desire to
support more - and newer - hardware.
Chultrabook
-----------
Website: <https://docs.chrultrabook.com/>
Git repositories: <https://github.com/chrultrabook>
Provides a tailored EDK2(UEFI) payload on supported *Chromebooks*. You can use
this to replace ChromeOS with a regular Linux distro or BSD system - even
Windows - if you wish.
The benefit of using *Chultrabook* is that it provides up to date EDK2, unlike
proprietary vendors who often provide old, CVE-ridden versions of EDK2 forks
such as InsydeH2O.
With Chultrabook's guidance, you can have a completely up to date UEFI firmware
on your machine, and get good use out of your Chromebook for many more years,
with regular security updates.
One of Chultrabook's maintainers, Elly, did this talk at 37C3 conference,
demonstrating Chultrabook:

talk about coreboot at 38C3: <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LD9tOcf4OkA>. It's
very good reference material if you want to know more about coreboot, and
coreboot distros more generally.
Elly also did this interview with Brodie Robertson, about coreboot, and
explains the concept of a coreboot distro in more detail in one part of
the interview:

Libreboot largely avoids supporting Chromebooks, precisely because Chultrabook
and MrChromebox are perfectly viable options on these machines.
