Great! now take the (potential) hardware backdoors out of your computers and make them Linux-friendly.

Isn't any hardware a "potential" hardware backdoor? What matters is whether it actually is one.

So what is the hardware backdoor you are referring to?

I was assuming they have something equivalent to the Intel Management Engine. Do they not?

I don't know. Is this true of open hardware? I mean, there could be a backdoor, but it would also be practically possible for qualified people to find it, right?

Probably the one that Bloomberg lied about, and never retracted.
