There exist a few linux hardware vendors (laptops, pcs, phones) out there. Is the community using them?

See https://linuxpreloaded.com/ for vendors

    Planning on building a NAS with FSF approved hardware

    Have you done research on that? QNAP and Synology seem to be the NAS kings but are closed source and I don’t know any opensource alternatives.

    When I eventually need to upgrade from the P50 I’ll prob build an FSF approved desktop machine as I’ve found I pretty much only use it at my desk

    Have you considered a linux shop or do you plan on getting all the components and building it yourself?

      I’ll be using the motherboard at the link below to build my own NAS. I had a QNAP which died because it had an Intel Atom processor with known flaws, so I do not trust them at all any more. The only gaming I do on the P50 is SuperTux Kart and 16-bit console emulation through Retroarch. The most taxing things I do on it are video editing and running a few VMs at the same time which that machines more than capable of doing at the moment. https://store.vikings.net/en/d16ryf

        Wow, that is not a cheap mainboard 😮 Costs as much as some mid-range laptops
