Nothing special, just wanted to make a post because I'm extremely proud of myself today. Reddit was the only thing holding me back, and I'm happy to say that I've just deleted my 8 year old account. I'm now only using open source apps for my android and desktop OS and it feels amazing!

The board isn't the issue, the CPU and RAM have firmware running on them.

Oh, then OP will most likely need to replace their hardware with something like Framework, as I can't see x86-64 becoming open.

Baby steps are okay too.

Oh definately, I was just in a pedantic mood (:

I was going to press you on the firmware for the CPU, but I was unaware that CPU microcode exists and is built to live in the cache.
