It seems that the clevo boot guard, and possibly other signing keys have been shared regularly on their official site, which should allow for coreboot&#x2F;dasharo&#x2F;system76 ports to work with a wider variety of their machines.<p>The OP in the linked thread has not fully fleshed out the process, but in theory, once you can use the keys to build an image disabling boot guard - level 0, it should in theory then leave the machine open to being reflashed, though I&#x27;m not sure how true that is.<p>Clevo is like the 3rd largest manufacturer, and is sold as a number of names - XMG, Asus, HP, Alienware, System76, NovaCustom, Tuxedo, Eurocom, and many more...a lot of laptops they make are just ODM badged.
