- I think we should avoid setting the main bar for system76 at purism or vice versa. I say this as a big Purism fan, reading this post is very exciting for all fans of openness in computing.

Unfortunately, while they remain on x86 - and Intel and/or AMD refuse to manufacture chips without the Management Engine or the Platform Security Processor or provide documentation - they'll always be less open than alternative architecture implementations like RISC-V's SiFive or OpenPOWER's IBM POWER and their vendors/integrators like Raptor Computing Systems.
