I'd like the Steam Machine to come back with the addition of being an HTPC. Why? Because Valve is big enough to arm wrestle streaming services into releasing an official app.
I basically want a user customizable, privacy respecting Xbox.
If they added Coreboot support, I would buy it just because of that. (Not 100% FOSS, but it's still nice to have more control over your hardware)
Or better yet, Libreboot.
Edit: why is this controversial?
Libreboot nowadays would most likely still contain blobs in the BIOS, but not as much as regular Coreboot. I don't know why you're being downvoted lol. If Coreboot is supported, they can port it to Libreboot.
