EOMA68 micro desktop/laptop designed for free software

Post by Lyberta »

I'm really irritated by the fact that I need proprietary firmware/BOIS/UEFI to run my PC and I've looked for truly free hardware and I've stumbled on this great campaign.

Basically, it a computer that fits inside a PCMCIA card form factor which doesn't require proprietary firmware to run. They offer a version with Parabola GNU/Linux which is expected to get Respects Your Freedom (RYF) certification from FSF. This is really great and I really wanted some RYF hardware.

Sounds interesting. I wonder what quality of audio it can manage and latency we could get down to.
