Yeah they're made in usa, fully owner controlled and the raptorcs OpenPOWER9 boards like the TALOS 2 and Blackbird have real open source firmware with open hw init directly from the factory. The prices are pretty good vs non-free intel/amd server hardware in the same performance/feature class OpenPOWER is now the only owner controlled performance cpu arch. Note that qubes/xen doesn't currently run on it but you can use POWER-KVM/POWER-IOMMU/POWER-IOMMU-GFX virt in the meantime. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
