I think the only easy way to achieve the highest level of privacy is using a fully free, non-proprietary operating system. you don’t need to tinker around with much because by default, no spyware. I don’t think it really exist though

    RISC-V will hopefully change that, but so far it seems like everyone is just using it to make closed source processors minus the ISA licensing fee

    That’s not true, there are several open source implementations , some of them even supported by companies (sifive for example supports rocket-chip). There could be several “closed” implementations that could be using a open source design and we would not know about it (companies have a interest to hide this, because just the decision to do this could have taken time and therefore money so you don’t want competitors copying you).
