Can a computer (runing tails) BIOS be coruppted just as easily as the firmware of a usb (containing tails) flash drive? gaming computer builder

Hi, I'm very concerned about installing tails on a usb flash drive, as well as storing sensitive information on veracrypt volumes (residing on a usb flash drive) as the firmware could be tampered with (either before installation or stoled and replaced afterworlds).

This security concern has been a very debilitating problem of late (I live in a totalitarian country) and I was wondering.

Is it just as easy for an attacker (that has physical access to the target's hardware) to infect the bios of the computer on which tails is run as it is to infect/alter the firmware of a usb flash drive?

And would using a computer with Libreboot (https://libreboot.org), prevent against the computer's bios being corrupted?
