[PLUG] Open hardware laptop

[Martin Cracauer via plug <plug@lists.phillylinux.org>]

ARM CPU, all(*) firmware to be built from source:

Very slow and clunky.  Not quite what the Qubes folks want, but miles
closer.  For me I'd expect the trackball or trackpad to be the major
issue.

For the size I would want both a NVMe slot and a SATA slot.  That
would open up interesting options as a computer to hold important
files.

(*) the article isn't very specific, I am surprised that there is a
wifi chip that you can run without any binary blobs
