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?

    Check out Starlabs - their laptops have Intel processors but use Coreboot as the BIOS with the intel management engine disabled. They’re good with spares and are designed to run Linux. I have one and it runs Debian 13 flawlessly.
