I wholeheartedly agree! My main (private) computer the past two years has been an #MNTReform: an open-hardware computer where the printed manual (!) includes the schematics (!!). The specs are on the lower end but upgrades have come out by now.
Getting to know that machine feels worth it to me in ways that proprietary systems with fast release cycles no longer do.
People have been coming up with lots of interesting modifications for this computer too.
