If you want to go ultra-paranoia which is understandable in this day and age, there is now a fully open source computer(including CPU) for around 2k usd. Some distros of linux support it and there is currently an effort to port tails over. Literally no way to exploit vunerabilities if it's a powerpc comp running tails.

Very interesting anon.

The Talos™ II mainboard is the first modern (post-2013), owner-controllable, workstation- and enterprise-class mainboard. Built around the brand-new IBM POWER9 processor, and leveraging Linux and OpenPOWER™ technology, Talos™ II allows you to secure your data without sacrificing performance. Designed with a fully owner-controlled CPU domain, you can audit and modify any portion of the open source firmware on the Talos™ II mainboard, all the way down to the CPU microcode. This is an unprecedented level of access for any modern workstation- or enterprise-class machine, and one that is increasingly needed to assure safety and compliance with new regulations, such as the EU's GDPR.

An owner-controlled, CPU-based secure boot mode also is available at any time. When secure boot is properly configured, and if the mainboard is located in a physically secure environment (e.g., a datacenter or locked workstation case), you can be assured that only your pre-approved and pre-audited firmware, kernel, and user space components are executing on a Talos™ II system.

To get you started as quickly as possible, the Special Developer System comes pre-loaded with a Debian Buster ppc64el installation. Default login credentials are root/root and should be changed after receiving the machine. This default installation can be wiped and an OS of your choice installed if desired.

We really need more market saturation of this kind of stuff. Praise the king of digits for this worthy get.

Am I wrong for thinking all that stuff is pointless because of the whole

IBM POWER9 processor

Unless you yourself are creating the hardware I'm not sure how any of us can guarantee that it isn't owned by CIAniggers.
