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.

Intel isn't preventing you from using Coreboot, or disabling IME.

You are probably never going to be able to boot intel CPUs without using IME.

so … intel is preventing you from disabling IME …

They are preventing you from removing IME, they are not preventing you from disabling IME.

You can use HAP to disable IME, but you can't use something like me_cleaner to clean or neuter IME.
