I remember when coreboot wasn't shit.

It all went to hell when the website changed from a very functional wiki to some standard template filled with marketing buzz.

They did then drop support for a lot of chipsets and boards, for some sort of commercial focus that as far as I can tell went nowhere.

Quick plug that system76 uses core boot in modern hardware. If anyone is in the market for a Linux pc anyways.

Not sure if anyone else installs it by default, it's been awhile since I've looked.

Purism installs it by default, too.

The wiki was not maintained and quite outdated. It probably still exists but may be read-only. You are right that there isn't a suitable replacement. Coreboot is more a developer centric project than a traditional OSS project with a large community. The high barrier to entry and lack of compatible hardware doesn't help, but there isn't much anyone can do about the latter.
