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?
There’s also a Raspberry Pi laptop: https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2026/the-first-good-raspberry-pi-laptop/
I have a raspberry pi that I use for my retro gaming system and I’ve seen some of the build-it-yourself laptops people have created from them. They’re neat, but not as powerful as what I am looking for. I wanted something comparable in performance to Lenovo or Mac.
RISC V will not be nearly as powerful as those either.
