I love my frame.work 16 and its hardware switch for camera and mic

I like my ThinkPad for that too. It's great.

Framework is thinkpad2

System76 has some machines with hardware camera killswitches too. Big fan of Framework's open-source hardware and ~~firmware~~ microcontroller firmware though.

Their firmware isn't opensource. At least not fully. Only the EC firmware has been opensourced, that is the firmware for the micro-controller responsible for the battery, keyboard, buttons, LEDs, sensors, and so on...

The boot firmware, responsible for getting the CPU and hardware in a bootable state, is absolutely proprietary. There is initial support for one specific framework motherboard in coreboot, a partially libre boot firmware, but it's very new and I don't know exactly what is and isn't supported...

Thank you for clarifying, I edited my comment. I was referring to coreboot but did not know that it was not yet widely supported in Framework laptops.
