@aumetra Not from Helsinki region, but #Minifree https://minifree.org/ specialized in fully FLOSS Thinkpads and offers them for fair prices. Not sure about shipping though, perhaps @libreleah can tell you more when asked nicely. :)

Short of checking their hardware support against a specific laptop model, I'd just say thinkpad is generally a safer bet than acer.
If you don't mind refurbished laptops, you can buy openbsd preinstalled... https://minifree.org/
I installed #nixos on my Lenovo X200s I bought some years ago from #minifree what can I say: Both are awesome work of dedicated people!
Thanks @libreleah and
@nixos_org
I talked to @libreleah on the #minifree IRC and it turns out there isn't actually any HDMI audio through the miniDP++, according to the schematics there is no physical connection. So I can stop looking for a software solution.
But there's a way out! I'll find a dock for it. That will have working audio, I presume through a native HDMI connector.
Thank you Leah for the quick answer!
"Hi Claes,
Your T440p recently shipped."
Cool!
The DPD tracker shows it as last seen in London early last week. Probably won't be another update before it's suddenly in Hong Kong.
Looking for hardware with Linux preinstalled? @BruceByfield offers a brief consumer guide of where to buy https://www.linux-magazine.com/Online/Features/Linux-Ready-to-Go #Linux #hardware #OpenSource #Dell #JunoComputers #Lenovo #Minifree #Purism #Slimbook #System76 #TUXEDOComputers #SoftwareFreedom
@libreleah Hi Leah, the #T430 got back fine. It is now super cool and quiet, the big ssd is in and #debian #linux works smoothly. The intel wifi card with ac is great and all-in-all the old bird has really got a new lease of life. Thank you! best regards, Mark

@CPlusPatch enjoying my #minifree librebooted thinkpad btw ;D buy today
@beefbaby182 I'm running this one on a fairly recent Gateway laptop (neofetch attached), I have had no driver problems except for the fingerprint reader which isn't detected
On my Nvidia PC, I had some issues with Nouveau so I used the official Nvidia drivers but I haven't had any issues
The next PC I'm going to buy is a #minifree laptop
@libreleah Aand it's also pretty sweet that the main #libreboot dev likes rick and morty I have an #x200 I got from #minifree in 2015 (I think) favourite laptop since then.

#Minifree is a casualty of the #COVID19 pandemic and #LeahRowe needs financial help to dig herself out of the hole it's left her in. Anyone need to employ an experienced software and hardware hacker who ran her own business for long enough to really value having managers doing it for her, so she can focus on the stuff she's good at?

@resist_berlin_ So sad #minifree can't make them anymore. CPU might be a bit slow but it would be my laptop of choice anyway.
