Tangantially related, I remember reading the Asahi Linux wiki [0], and was shocked by this statement about Apple Silicon machines. It&#x27;s fascinating that Apple has a reputation for being anti-libre, yet the hardware they built is arguably very libre-friendly.<p>&gt; This puts them somewhere between x86 PCs and a libre-first system like the Talos II in terms of freedom to replace firmware and boot components; while a number of blobs are required in order to boot the system, none of those have the ability to take over the OS or compromise it post-boot (unlike, say, Intel ME and AMD PSP on recent systems, or the DMA-capable chips on the LPC bus running opaque blobs that exist on even old ThinkPads).<p>&gt; From a security perspective, these machines may possibly qualify as the most secure general purpose computers available to the public which support third-party OSes, in terms of resistance to attack by non-owners.<p>[0]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;AsahiLinux&#x2F;docs&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Introduction-to-Apple-Silicon" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;AsahiLinux&#x2F;docs&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Introduction-to-Appl...</a>
