It’s an open source bios. There are only builds for a certain few laptops and it involves opening it up and flashing the bios chip

If you want to disable Intel Management Engine, the always-on backdoor built into every Intel CPU and/or want as much software as possible on your machine to be FOSS

Also it boots much faster than most stock bios.
