switch to grub2 for powerpc an invention by k0da There is a grub2 available for powerpc for a while. Let's switch to it by default. Updated about 5 years ago. 3 hacker ♥️.
Make Intel baytrail based device(s) work better with openSUSE a project by mkubecek Recently I became a (not very proud) owner of Acer Aspire Switch 10E, a small notebook/tablet convertible based on Intel baytrail platform. Replacing preinstalled (32-bit!) Windows 8.1 with (64-bit) openSUSE proved more challenging than expected, mostly because the device is haunted by a 32-bit UEFI so that it took me a week to make it boot without an external USB flash disk. Even today, a lot of issues persist. As I do not want to waste a (partially) good hardware, I would like to make it as usable as possible. This is much less selfish than it sounds as there are many other devices based on Intel baytrail platform so that the effort is going to help their owners as well (if successful, that is).

Implement ZSTD + BTRFS support to GRUB2 an invention by dsterba The ZSTD is a new compression method, potential replacement for existing methods. The support has been added to linux 4.14, but the bootloader support is missing. Goals: Updated 6 months ago. 1 hackers ♥️.
