Does this laptop from retrofreedom come with IME disabled or removed?

thankyou so much this was my only worry

 

I was thinking of getting a thinkpad x200 with libreboot from retrofreedom.com since even with the tutorials I had no idea how to do so myself,but I have a question.How would you update it?Is it as hard as installing libreboot and how would I update it?How frequently is it updated?

Also to add more onto the "he does not provide those videos out of goodness of his heart" argument, he made a video about Newpipe.He even talked about how he didnt care if you moved since of course he wouldnt be able to get likes or ad revenue because of ppl using things like newpipe and how he just wanted people to use these products to get away from using the youtube app or website.

imo I dont see them this way.You just discovered them and because of that you cant really decide completely about who they are just from 1 video.Of course the hated one would ask for donations and such.Since im pretty sure he relies on such stuff to mantain himself.Also just because hes a privacy advocate doesnt mean he needs to use lemmy,mastodon and such.Its just like techlore who has discord and such stuff so that he can spread privacy to ppl who are stuck on those services ,so that one day they randomly run into his content and learn about privacy.I also disagree on the part of "he does not provide those videos out of goodness of his heart" I mean he is not forcing you to do such stuff and just because someone tries to make money from something doesnt mean that thats their only motive to make such content.

When you say techlore was "influencing fans" thats just an opinion not a fact so imo I dont think that was the case.He just talked about the whole drama and a little bit of what he thought about it.I dont think that his intentions were to "manipulate and influence" his fans.Dont believe everything that ppl say'

I really want linux phones like the pinephone to become more stable,faster,and overall better and I would love it if people started making apps for them like even a Tor browser and Orbot would make me instantly get one.

The biggest reason why I asked this is because a privacy advocate The Hated One made a video about how Signal was kinda going downhill and how he was talking about matrix for a little bit but I was thinking "Doesnt matrix leak metadata?".

Yea I am using XMPP but was just asking

 

I have questions about matrix/element.Does it leak metadata if so what does it leak?I have heard that it only shows who you are talking to but not what you are saying.

Thanks for the answer

 

Do all of System76's laptops have coreboot?(specifically the Pangolin and yes I know that they arent on stock rn)

I recommend to use nextcloud as an alternative for cloud storage

I know that things like Purism and system76 use coreboot but does ThinkPenguin.com disable IME or use coreboot?
