@Mr0 You're welcome, thank you for being open to this information :) And yeah, I actually did find a new favorite, just a few days ago. Basically I was researching backdoors in embedded hardware, which reminded me of Intel ME / AMD PSP, which reminded me of coreboot, an open source firmware (UEFI layer), as that can sometimes be used to mitigate some of the aforementioned backdoors. I researched a bit and it looks like System76 is a major contributor to coreboot, and they do ship some systems with it out of the box. They also seem to have good spare part availability, even if not as nicely visible and designed as Framework. Also, they haven't promoted any nazis to my knowledge, so there's that xD
