We need to have local businesses which can sell laptops powered by free
software. I use one prepared by a local vendor in India which can run
exclusively on free software(yes, without nonfree firmware too). I wrote
about it here https://ravidwivedi.in/posts/liberated-computer.html. We
can also fund startups like Purism(by buying their devices) which sell
hardware powered by free software.

yes, so raising awareness about the freedom part becomes important. I
personally won't care if removing Windows from my laptop voids the
warranty.
