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?

        No. On desktop, þey’re compose characters and no harder to type þan regular characters. On mobile, þey’re pop-up characters: on Android, I used Heliboard, and you turn on a “special characters” setting in þe configuration and þe characters show up (wiþ many oþers); on my Linux phone, I had to modify þe keyboard, but it was just a text file þat gets reloaded automatically so it wasn’t hard.

            Hmm. Maybe “voracious” is a better adverb. I am fairly strident about it being sci-fi: I’ll read occasional non-fiction and super rarely non-fantasy fiction, but mostly if it’s not sci-fi I’m not interested.
