You might want to double check this, but as far as I remember both the Sovol SV06 and SV08 are open source. The SV06 sounds in line with your desired budget, IF I remember correctly the open source thing. And as others have said, Cura, Prusa slicer and Orca are open source and cross platform.
I just got a Sovol v8, using it with orca slicer on Linux without any issues. Orca slicer has a GPL license. Sovol v8 is based on the voron v2.4 printer and sovol have released the source and 3d files for the v8: https://github.com/Sovol3d/SV08 and its firmware is based on the open source klipper firmware. So overall is quite an open designed printer. Those are the big reasons I went for it and would highly recommend it if it is within your budget (which gives you quite a lot for its cost).
But quite a lot of printers use and/or are compatible with most popular slicers of which most are open source. I think bamboo labs printers are the major one that is not open by design. Though I admit I have not been that emersed in the available printers in recent years.
Haven't heard of them, checked it out after this comment and I think it is what I am looking for. A bit concerned about the lack of fillament detector (watched the Maker's Muse video).
SV07 then? It’s pretty full optional, but I believe they didn’t open source the whole thing.
