I have libreboot on an old chromebook that I converted a year or two ago. I followed a guide. Minor disassembly but nothing weird.
The computer boots just fine with one issue that is hardly worth mentioning. I accidentally left some cruft around when I switched from one distro to another, so it fails to boot to the old system before successfully booting the current one. That’s a ‘me being lazy’ problem, not a ‘libreboot’ problem.
I tell a lie: the specific computer that I mention in the above post has a cleaned-up version of coreboot on it, not libreboot.
I had a much smaller chromebook with libreboot on in a few years ago. Booting was fine, the rest of the hardware was too weak for my daily use. It was an Asus C201. I vaguely remember having to disconnect the battery and bridge some board contacts to get it switched over.
