Hi everyone, am new here.
I have been looking to replace my laptop with something that is free of intel 's ME chip.
I read an article on here about three laptops that are aarm64 based running windows, and about an effort to
get Linux running on them.
This lead me to check out a git hub page, where a group were trying to get Linux onto these laptops.
After reading a little, I discovered that this is not a simple task, with lots of problems getting the install and boot process up and running.
Am not in any way clued in to how this works, but I do see that microsoft is currently running on these laptops,
and am concerned their setting up a trend to make these devices their own, in that their firmware currently is
making life difficult for Linux, just wondering if this is chip related as in another form of an ME type chip is
being used, or a software version is implemented.
Both intel and microsoft in my view are respnsible for leading others down the safe computing road, and all that entails,
am just wondering if microsoft are now setting similar trends that the manufacturers will tend to follow because of microsofts
impact on the sales of such devices, a lot of people think microsoft is the god of the OS world, and will follow them.
I am so non technical that I hope I have put my fears across regarding the ME chip fiasco that I never want to see on another chip ever,
and thus my concern regarding ms 's involvement with manufacturers building ARM based laptops / devices, intel cant very well influence
them, but ms can.
Any info for this noob would be much appreciated.
