I am looking to build an alternative laptop to AMD/Intel. I want to limit how much I support them and protect my privacy.
I have thought about getting the Framework Laptop 13 chasis with expansion cards and use RISC V for the main board.
Debian is in the lead for the OS.
Are there any other alternatives that could be recommended that may be even better?
You can always just use an m series mac if you don’t want to support Intel or amd.
It all depends on how you define big tech.
The framework risc v board, for example, uses the StarFive JH-7110 which is manufactured by tsmc. Doesn’t get much bigger than that!
Apple is even worse than AMD and Intel, wtf? And they won’t be able to run Debian on it with fill hardware support. Bro, that like suggesting somebody to cut out their heart when they’re complaining about a leg wound.
It depends on what they want. The op and title are pretty vague and general, so I offered a very easy solution that could meet their needs.
Apple has a bigger market cap than amd, intel, and tsmc combined lol.
That’s exactly what I mean. It all depends on what makes a company big tech.
If it’s just having lots of money or capital then it’s really hard to divest oneself because of the phenomenal heights of industry required to make chips. Like, on some level you gotta accept that no one’s doing 14nm lithography in a shed out behind their house (people who do home lithography are in the micrometer range last I looked).
