I miss desktops so much. Laptops are all trash and I hate them, no exceptions. Only reason why I use them is that I have no place where I intend to stay, and I can put a laptop or two in a bag, but not a desktop. Also, I don't use the desktops that I have because I don't have an uninterruptible power supply, and I'm sick of losing stuff from power outages. And again, if I buy one, not something that I can just put in a bag and fly with.

May never use one again, which is absolutely terrible, I basically always hated laptops. Even if I do, for a full free software system, I don't even know what I would use. The good Linux distributions only support x86, and x86 is shit. I guess it would have to be FreeBSD on POWER9 (may be the only OS that has a good repository for that), but that costs a fortune. There is also the most powerful single-board computer from Pine, maybe that's an option, but again, software may be limited, because it's fucking ARM.

And then as far as Librebooted desktops go, it's just one old desktop that is weaker than a lot of the supported ThinkPads (especially with the ones added to the list recently). Also a server board, but it's expensive. If System76 stuff is actually Librebooted, then that too is expensive as hell. May be a good option, though, $999 is bearable, considering that it's new. Though it is for the absolute lowest end. Also, I don't like the cases. Soulless, and no drive bays, so I'd have to waste money on something I don't even like. It doesn't seem like they sell motherboards separately.
