COSMIC and Pop!_OS are fully funded through @system76 hardware sales. Our hardware includes a wide range of products built for Linux, from desktop computers with open hardware chassis, to laptops running open source firmware, to open hardware keyboards: https://system76.com/ If you can't find something that meets your needs, let me know what we need to add! We can often offer options beyond those in the system configurator.

      There’s a general lack in availability to purchase boards with this configuration from manufacturers. Intel/NVIDIA and even AMD/NVIDIA hybrid systems are more readily accessible. Systems with NVIDIA graphics are also popular in part due to how many in the tech field require CUDA. At the time of this post, you can purchase a Pangolin which features a Ryzen 6800U with integrated AMD graphics though. Which provides decent graphics performance and battery life.

      System76 does have the attention of Intel, and our firmware team works with them on open source firmware project. I believe some may even be using System76 laptops for their open firmware development. I’m hopeful that things will get better on the AMD side with openSIL because it’d be great to offer AMD systems with open firmware, rather than that being an Intel-exclusive feature.
