Not only laptops, but also single board computers such as the BeagleBone
Black can be used in complete freedom. A port of trisquel's userland
would be nice for those computers, the kernel and bootloader could be
compiles using buildroot.
The libreboot project recommends the BeagleBone Black as a replacement
for Raspberry Pi, because no proprietery software is needed to boot the
system. Raspberry Pi cannot be used as it lacks a free real time
operating system for the GPU.
