From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

So then how come Nova Custom do modern intel CPUs?
From the looks of it Coreboot just doesn't support AMD.
I know of exactly 1 AMD corebooot laptop. Starlabs Starfighter.
For coreboot you're basically on Intel. As others mentioned, look up dasharo. They have added support for two modern MSI motherboards and Intel cpu models.
In case you haven't seen it already - 3mdeb shared some info on the state of things during last FOSDEM. If I'm not mistaken they also did an update the year before too.
