This of course needs feedback from a free/libre software activist, that
made a report of his tests with such boards in places like h-node for
example (because the criteria for acceptance there is indeed to use only
free/libre software and free/libre system distributions).

No is not, it's a propietary OS + system machine. GPU driver based on radeon. Developed, maintained and selled by AEON for the x machine with special care of classic applications (30 years old) support, like hollywood.

As far as I know Alex is working on a Linux port. Doing that I get confused with Trevor's policy (the economic boss). In one hand he is supporting classic amiga programmers family, at the other hand is porting to Linux kernel.at the same time trevor is claiming for the rights of a bunch of code (a lot) that was released to the public domain by some classic party comunity.

3000€ machine. Privative custom driver.
"Another victim of the so called Open Source". LT Penguin inside and dynamic drivers updates if you want to get ice cubs for the radeon custom amigaOS driver.

You told nothing about BIOS or boot firmware, which it is nothing about free/open source software for sure.
