Is it worth checking for a BIOS compatible with coreboot or libreboot, or some

Is it true that if I have a Intel ME processor, but a motherboard that isn't
compatible.. that at least this prevents network access to Intel ME...? For
example, in my current laptop, there is no mention of Intel ME in the BIOS at
all..
etc etc
So yeah, just looking for as many different compatibility checks as possible.
IMO most laptops sitting "in a store" are pretty awful. They usually
represent the most cost-reduced models of their line, leaving out things
like Vt-d/IOMMU and a TPM. Still, a trip with a Qubes disk could be
educational.
I think you named the main points to look for.
You may also want to consider the Librem, which is certified as Qubes
compatible.
