Re:System76 Will Ship Linux Laptops With Coreboot-Based Open... by wmf on Thursday October 10, 2019 @03:00PM (#21218013)
Not really. Closed firmware exists for reasons that aren't x86-specific so almost all ARM and RISC-V systems will have some form of closed firmware. One problem with x86 is that it's limited to ~3 companies while any company can use ARM or RISC-V so more diversity is possible.
