“Protect my privacy” is really my overall philosophy with ANYTHING tech-related. It’s more being extra cautious/paranoid than anything else. The hardware itself supposedly doesn’t track you, but I still don’t 100% trust either side of the duopoly. Better safe than sorry. 😅

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?
Best Monitors for Vision
I am looking for a wide curved monitor that’s around 49". I have looked at Samsungs, LGs, and other brands with consideration for OLED, IPS, and VA panels.
I need something that I can use as two monitors when I am working and as a single monitor when I am gaming or watching movies. So I am concerned with burnout for OLEDs since I will have things like taskbars on the screen for hours at a time.
What options will be best for eyes and will last?


I was hoping to get something this fall. If I could get something this summer, that would be great but I know it would be rushing. If I decide on risc-v, it doesn’t matter. Because I would have to wait however long they make me. 😭
