I agree they are super overpriced But i'm not sure we can have 100% libre

talk about on a radio show once, how there is really only a couple
manufactures that dominate the world. You would have to make every single part
from scratch.
I don't know anything about coreboot or libreboot. Though I know I'd actually
would like to have secure boot, but I guess I'm crazy.
Of course you can, see the TALOS project for libre hardware/firmware
concepts and the KGPE-D16/KCMA-D8 for actual production libre firmware,
there are some POWER computers as well.
If someone tells you otherwise they don't know what they are talking
about, there is nothing stopping a company from making a libre computer
even a small company as long as they have the cash, purism could have
they just didn't want to.
Secure Boot is a marketing term for kernel code signing enforcement and
grub already does this, MS "secure" (from you) boot is a way for them to
eventually stop people from running linux.
