I can buy a lot more laptops, desktops, servers that works without
non-free firmware today than I could 10 or 20 years ago.
My current NV41 laptop is one example (although it is a couple of years
old). I recently bought a Protectcli VP2440 to use as a firewall, and
it is another example. My MSI Z790P desktop is another example.
I looked up this motherboard because of what you said---I am in fact very
interested in purchasing hardware that does not require non-free firmware.
I went to the MSI page for that motherboard:
https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/PRO-Z790-P/support#bios
I see the recent UEFI/BIOS there, but neither a claim that the firmware is
free, nor a download link to the source.
Where is the free firmware for this board?
Best,
Antonio
