Regarding "certified" hardware

Here is a way that can work:

  • @plexus already has a W530 with 32GB RAM and heads running
  • maybe some other community members (including myself) can replicate what he has done and help verify
  • him and/or Nitrokey and Insurgo could offer these devices for purchase (the more the community has done to verify it, the easier it becomes for them)
  • one of these vendors then needs to provide such a machine to the core team for ongoing verification

The exiting part here is that @plexus has already demonstrated that it’s doable. Maybe he will start a business selling these. Maybe existing vendors like Nitrokey and Insurgo will replicate his work. We are close.

People who would consider buying such a machine could post in this thread and thereby show how much interest there is.
