For the past few years the company has been selling laptops that are available with a choice of Windows or several different GNU/Linux distributions. And more recently the company started loading its notebooks computers with open source firmware rather than a proprietary BIOS/UEFI solution.

Got Devuan 6 onto my gaming desktop. Using Open RC and Mate to go with the Z690 board that uses Dasharo. Had to manually install Pulse Audio and the Fuse libraries so that app images and audio would work but smooth sailing otherwise

Decided to redo my NV41 laptop this week. Went with an old favorite combo that fit like a glove. Devuan 5 with the libre kernel and OpenRC.

Memtest86 no problems, `stress` for 45 minutes is fine, and swapping the #Dasharo firmware out for the stock firmware still crashes. The GPU worked in my previous machine, so I'm left w/iGPU specific hardware failures, something odd wrong w/the motherboard (both unlikely), or driver issues.
