I don't know but maybe check out pine ( https://www.pine64.org/ )

I have an ARM Linux laptop from them and there are no intel or m$ (even possible?). It's a cheap computer though, not for gaming for example.

Neither Coreboot nor Libreboot support the ARM CPUs in the Pinebooks.

The one major gripe some Free Software advocates will have is with the firmware. However there is a question of diminishing returns with some of this stuff. On some level going ultra staunch is more of a philosophical choice than a technical one.
