I think the best bet to target if we want 100% blob-free and freedom computer would be open architecture SBCs. They only need to compute and all I/O could be basic devices with no firmware upgrades.

For typical PC and laptop, my opinion is that if you get an AMD system for example, it is enough. I mean, there are still drawbacks most in term of firmware but if there isn’t some revolution coming that could lock Linux’es down, there are betters things to focus on.

And that thing are portables and embedded. Smartphones, ARM netbooks… Because we have no fully working OS for them. PostmartketOS is doing great job, but no reasonable phone with full hardware support. And most people are going to have these and have to suffer from Google/Apple placing whatever those two companies want on them.
