AFAIK it depends on how well coreboot supports the machine. It's not so much about coreboot itself but whether the configuration for that machine sets things up properly for a general purpose OS. In some cases shortcuts might have been taken and people didn't go further than "linux boots, that's good enough". I would think that machines supplied with coreboot in the first place are generally likely to do better than ones where it's been hacked into place. For example PC Engines APU boards use coreboot natively and they're usually fine. The places we've seen more problems with coreboot are where people have replaced existing laptop BIOS/UEFI with coreboot and sometimes that doesn't go so well. -- Please keep replies on the mailing list.
