Thelio – System76

I think they really missed an opportunity by exclusively supporting AMD/Intel here. Would have been nice to have a competitive and relatively affordable POWER system- open hardware and firmware is nice but kind of mooted by having a mysterious minix black box running at all times in ring -3 (Intel ME/AMD PSP). I guess TALOS is still the only option there.

Wait for the Raptor Blackbird. They're apparently trying for a very competitively priced POWER9 system with that one, as in sub-$1k.

Aren't the lowest core power9 still intended for servers? I wasn't aware they had desktop processors.
