Purism, System76 and, more recently, Framework
What's the point if they still have AMD, Intel, Nvidia, Qualcomm, etc. chips on them?
You mean things like the Intel Management Engine? I think they are partially disabled, like in librebooted ThinkPads.
Welcome to riscv
PinePhone Pro for the mobile side. The schematics are available. I quite like mine, especially with the keyboard case. It's basically a pocket laptop.
This is only for laptops by the way. System76 desktop BIOSes are still closed source. It's such a shame that there's no FOSS BIOS for desktop PCs, hopefully AMD OpenSIL changes that.
Werent they gonna make them foss? Heard it some time ago so who knows
I'm not sure they can make them FOSS because they don't make their desktop motherboards AFAIK. They're much harder to make than laptop ones.
