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?

    Where do you live? Huawei laptops with Kirin chip sets and HarmonyOS might fit the bill. Not available in the US, but I was just looking at one at my local mall.

    • If money was no object I’d book a ticket to China and get me a MateBook Fold. Though whether HarmonyOS will work for me and whether GNU+Linux is supported are unknowns that make me hesitant if I ever had the money.
