So AMD is better for systems with proprietary firmware, but without it, you basically have no choice, though I think really old AMD GPUs may work. Even only with Nouveau, at least it's something other than integrated graphics. I haven't tested that yet because I'm in no position to buy more hardware, but eventually I want to get a GA-G41M-ES2L motherboard and Libreboot it, and get a GPU and see if it works. They were pretty cheap last time I checked, and they should stay that way as long as some YouTuber doesn't meme Librebooted desktops. If it works (and of course, I don't know from experience that it actually does), you maybe can build a reasonably affordable fully free system with better graphics than a ThinkPad. That's a big maybe, though, that's if it actually works well enough, and the only way to know is to give it a shot. Of course, OpenBSD would not work on that system. But FreeBSD could. And of course, GuixSD and Hyperbola and others.
