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.

The Raspberry Pi Pico can't run Linux let alone Libreboot
Correct but it can be used to flash Libreboot on devices like the ThinkPad I mentioned in the title.
I'm asking if this configuration would be effective considering I've heard of people having issues with longer wires causing problems. Adding jumpers and a breadboard is just adding to that length.
Is the wire length problem some sort of latency issue or a resistance issue?

I think they were under the impression I want to install Libreboot on the Raspberry Pi. Maybe they didn't get a good look at the photo or how it was cropped confused them
Looking at your other comment made way more sense.
