Here's to hoping for a future POWER gaming community. I suggest either the 6386 or the 6328 CPU for the D16 and the 4386 for the D8. Note the D16 comes with the module you need for OpenBMC but the D8 seems not to.
For a laptop I recommend the G505S which has no ME/PSP and can be made almost libre, it has open init for ram/cpu and people are working on an open EC and to replace the other blobs. Thanks for the links rick! Purism is a very dishonest company and their phone is yet another example of faux-freedom hardware like their laptops, they do absolutely nothing to address the real issues like the baseband problem.
