You can run a free OS pretty effortless, but when wanting 100% free software, you have to dig deeper and replace the proprietary BIOS firmware.

If you want a for-real free device your bes bet is a RISC-V Single Board Computer. RISC-V is open architecture meaning no hardware level spyware built Into Intel’s chips.
Chris over at explaining computers managed to get kdenlive to render a video with one and some other cool stuff, you should check it out
yeah, no you have a misconception of what risc-v is.
Risc-v is an isa not a chip. the isa is open, available to anyone.
Implementations of risc-v (actual working designs) are usually not open. They are just guaranteed to be able to execute risc-v instructions.
So risc-v is neither more nor less vulnerable to hardware backdoors than any other architecture
