Libreboot adds support for these CPUs, unlike Dell firmware.

I tested it today and it works perfectly. I'm using it in my own machine. I now offer 64GB RAM, on the Libreboot 3050 Micro sold here:

Minifree Ltd – Libreboot 3050 Micro with 4-core i3-9100T, Intel UHD 630 graphics, 32GB/64GB DDR4 RAM, Intel AX210 WiFi, 1TB/2TB NVMe SSD or 2x1TB/2x2TB (NVMe+SATA RAID1) and Debian Linux

Minifree Ltd – Libreboot 3050 Micro with 4-core i3-9100T, Intel UHD 630 graphics, 32GB/64GB DDR4 RAM, Intel AX210 WiFi, 1TB/2TB NVMe SSD or 2x1TB/2x2TB (NVMe+SATA RAID1) and Debian Linux (minifree.org)

I'm Libreboot's founder. Sales fund the project. Libreboot replaces proprietary BIOS/UEFI firmware. Debian Linux or your choice of distro/BSD installed.

When RAM prices go down I may try 128GB on OptiPlex 5050 SFF/Supermicro X11SSH-LN4F

This is the kind of functionality that the coreboot scene should be touting just as prominently as the security perks.

On that note, I wonder how many "crappy motherboards with poorly-designed chipsets" are just normal motherboards with unmitigated BIOS bugs.
