I'm very interested in a laptop that is as close to "open" as possible. I understand that it may not be possible to use 100% open components but I'd at least like to know what I'm getting into, without having to do tons of time-consuming research. I'm sure I'm not the only one. Thanks!!!
I was wondering about this too since the announcement says "strictly designed with FOSS". Does this mean that the goal is to run smoothly with Linux / BSD or do you also strive to minimise the amount of closed-source firmware required?
