Framework
paidFramework sells modular laptops designed for repair and upgrades: every part, from the mainboard to individual ports, can be swapped with a screwdriver and ordered from their marketplace. You own hardware you can actually fix instead of replacing. Prices run higher than equivalent disposable laptops, and you depend on Framework staying in business for parts.

F-Droid
F-Droid is an app store for Android that distributes only free and open-source software, built from source by the project itself, with no account, tracking, or ads. It lets you install and update apps without touching the Google Play ecosystem. The catalog is smaller than Play, and app updates can lag upstream releases.
System76
System76 builds Linux-first laptops and desktops, ships them with its own Pop OS distribution, and publishes open-source firmware and embedded controller code for many models. You get hardware designed to run free software without driver fights, from a vendor that documents repairs. You pay a premium over mass-market machines, and some components still use proprietary firmware.
iFixit
iFixit publishes free, step-by-step repair guides for phones, laptops, and appliances, and sells the parts and tools to do the work yourself. Repairing your own hardware extends device life and breaks dependence on manufacturer service programs. The guides are free, but iFixit is a company whose catalog and pricing you do not control.
GrapheneOS
GrapheneOS is a hardened, open-source Android operating system for Pixel phones that removes Google's services by default while keeping app compatibility through sandboxed alternatives. It is the most credible path to a phone that does not report to an advertising company. It only runs on Pixels, and some banking apps refuse to work.
