I believe that minifree sells products that Richard Stallman would purchase. Purism is pretty close to something that Stallman would purchase, but I believe there may be some lingering issues with Intel's FSP that would prevent Stallman from purchasing a Purism. You can read a bit more of it here: https://puri.sm/posts/measuring-the-intel-me-to-create-a-more-secure-computer/ However, I would argue that currently, Purism is probably the best company working on making a modern and freedom respecting computing device. EOMA68 is another contender. https://www.crowdsupply.com/eoma68/micro-desktop > > https://puri.sm/products/ > > Their Librem 13 looks very attractive indeed!
