I’m looking to avoid American-made goods and American companies as much as possible and this relatively challenging when it comes to computers.
From my research so far it seems very difficult to find computer hardware that isn’t using American company microprocessors. CPUs available to non-industrial uses tend to be AMD, Intel, or recently some Qualcomm — all US companies. Even Raspberry Pi uses a Broadcom chip, and the other up-and-coming ARM chips I’ve researched seem to be American as well.
I’d appreciate any insights in this area, either companies with existing products or up and coming companies to watch. If I had a blind spot in my research and I’m missing something obvious please tell me.
Then there’s also the software to think about. You can certainly use Linux instead of Windows but even then, lots of people will also end up using Google, Steam or Discord.
I’ve used Linux since 1996, so that doesn’t bother me in the slightest
I should have mentioned that but I’m a bit self-conscious about being the “I use arch btw” people. Even though I do use Arch, btw.
