UPDATE: I was recently emailed by the maintainer of GNU Boot that Libreboot is not 100% Free Software and this particular machine (T1650) requires some non-free vendor firmware for the machine to post. I should have made this more clear in the video as I do not wish for people to be mislead. For more information about GNU Boot: www.gnu.org/software/gnuboot/ tripcode!Q/7 has also made a video about this system, which may be of value to you: th-cam.com/video/kg8BY5A6hI0/w-d-xo.html
This doesn't matter since all x86 computers have propitiatory embedded software which is SFS proved but since the patches for the embedded software isn't embedded it is not FSF proved. So in practice the non FSF proved non patched machine will not run more propitiatory software than a FSF approved machine.
It depends on the exact things you buy, but a CH341A with an SOIC8 clip is around $10-15. Female-to-female jumper wires are about $6 (I only had male-to-female wires but was able to work around it). The computer itself and the GPU were about $50 each (GPU would've been slightly more, but they had one in stock in my town so I picked it up while I was in town instead of paying for shipping). As for the use case, I'm looking at using it as my main computer with a few more hardware upgrades (mostly just the CPU and PSU as I can just use the RAM and storage in my current system).

As a veteran user of Parabola GNU/Linux-libre, all that I can tell is the installation process is a little bit trickier than Arch Linux.
Funnily enough, that's what another Parabola user I know said
Great work! Thank you for sharing
You're welcome :)
That's quite impressive! How much did the whole setup stuff cost and what will you do with the computer?

@@buneyecat That's on my bucket list! :)
oioioi I would never trust myself with doing that on my pc
That's fair tbh, I bricked it the first time so I was worried I wouldn't be able to get it working again.
