Currently I use ThinkPad x230 with coreboot. Awesome machine for daily use, plays any (that I know of) free/open source game. Can edit video too but takes a while. I do not compile code often. I wish to upgrade to USB-C charging as I travel alot. Also I want my pc to be silent or fan less (are chrome books any good ?). Obv I want to run as little proprietary firmware as possible aswell.

As for gaming / editing, I think about getting a laptop with M$ Windows “air gabbed” and NVIDIA card. But all models seem to have major flaws with cooling or design or just cost unreasonably much ($3k).

I can stick with my current setup if nothing worth it is for sale, thanks if you can give advice !

    You might want to look into a Pinebook pro, but if what you have is working, I don’t see a reason to move on.

    Personally, I’m still using my librebooted T400 for my private matters and using an Arch desktop with proprietary Nvidia drivers for gaming.

    As long as I keep my worlds separate, I’m happy.
