Actually pretty much all Linux computers run on Intel or AMD chips both of which have a firmware level backdoors in the form of the Intel Management Engine or the Platform Security Processor - so if you use a computer you pretty much can't avoid it - the best approach would then be to throw away all microchip based tech and start a sustenance commune to live off the land (until the techbros enslave you in their VR prison with the help of robotic AI mercenaries when the water wars start)

What is a linux computer? The linux kernel and Linux/GNU is a type of OS that can be installed on almost anything. Firmware present in chips has nothing to do with the OS you boot into. If the value of a position is to fix every problem with modern computer tech, you will always lose.
