MNT Reform

MNT Reform is the ultimate open hardware laptop, designed and assembled in Berlin, Germany. MNT Reform is uniquely designed to be as open and transparent as possible, and to support a free and open source software stack from the ground up. We invite you to take a look under the hood, customize the documented electronics, and even repair it yourself if you like. The Reform laptop has no built-in surveillance technologies, cameras, or microphones, so you can be confident that it will never spy on you. Built not around Intel technology, MNT Reform has a much easier to understand architecture than conventional laptops. You have the choice between different CPU modules, depending on openness vs performance needs.

I generally try to use FOSS software, here a non-complete and always-changing list: OSs Parabola Linux: Desktop Arch Linux: Desktop if I need some non-free software (driver issues and sometimes some work-related stuff) Debian Linux: Server (only the FOSS repos) OpenWRT: Router GrapheneOS: Smartphone Quill OS (old InkBox OS): Kobo Nia Hardwares I have rarely been in the same place for many years so I usually prefer laptops, also I don’t need a lot of power.

I don't need a new laptop. But I do want an MNT Reform Next.

A future proof laptop with a retro futuristic aesthetic: This is MNT Reform Next.
