Lenovo Vendor Locking Ryzen CPUs with AMD PSB
True. However, sometimes large buyers, such as governments or enterprises, change their policies towards purchasing requirements. For example, since 2013 France has had an Inter-Ministry Foundation of Free Software[0], which provides the preferred software to be used across France's government, as French law requires preference be given to free software (logiciel libre).
What impact might occur if a government like France were to require in the future only RISC V architectures with free boot loaders, of if the US government or a large corporation required use of measured boot to see at boot-time if the boot code or subsequent OS had been compromised?
With persistent threat actors and the falling price of processing power, I wouldn't be surprised if in the next ten years some larger organizations (or tens of thousands of small businesses) start demanding this kind if IT security from their vendors.

writing research papers in vim
The easiest way would be markdown + pandoc. Great support for citations and footnotes. Everthing missing can be cobbled together with latex snippets from google. Here is an example for a bigger paper (50 pages) written that way https://github.com/rootkovska/x86_harmful
What are some alternatives?
