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?

    That is fair enough. Have there been any findings that CPUs are sending telemetry of some kind, or is it more the idea of there possibly being some back door for governments to use?

    I guess for me personally, my threat model for privacy is more towards foiling corporate data harvesting wherever possible, but I have resigned myself to the realization that making a computer nation-state-proof is borderline impossible without unreasonable levels of effort, especially for a normal computer user like myself.
