Best libre desktop computer 2024 | Coreboot, Libreboot, Gnuboot

Is logical. More “restricted market” more high cost. In Swiss there is a “farm car” which still produce the good old classical Mini in “green style” with a totally electrical engine (but without the android spyware inside like the modern “green” cars). The cost? Over 90000€ :expressionless:
Sometimes rich people are lucky they can bought an house with swimpool for swimming in winter, bought nice car even is not a Ferrari and bought good and really secure pc. We poor people no nice car, no swimming in winter, and “safe” pc with open source os but with spyware inside.

I have some nice sites with “open” hardware or at least more secure than supermarket hardware with ime and psp inside.

I add it to my list. Nice project, I only dislike the 90% of open-hw projects are only on laptops. A good revolution start when Desktop/Workstations start to come. ATM we have only Raptor (really expensive) and some very old asus boards

Dasharo is also great, they sell MSI Z790 prebuilt PC with coreboot, if someone is interested in something recent you can give them a try.
