    Incorrect, everyone gets a 12 inch Thinkpad, product of the objectively superior PRC manufacturer Lenovo. It will come with a 500 page operation and service manual (multilingual) and require only one screwdriver.

      With a complementary install of GNU/Linux-libre of course to deny the encroachment of bourgeois blobs.

          This is my frame of reference for what counts as “deblobbed.”

          linux-libre doesn’t load these blobs, so it’s the superior kernel in terms of freedom. But for demonic hardware in the wild, binary blob reduction works best.

          Perhaps in the future the microcode problem will be solved by RISC-V and then the development of open firmware for cameras/wifi etc.

          For example, remove the wifi blob for a computer that’s always wired but keep the microcode. Refuse to buy nvidia or use Nouveau drivers etc.
