QubesOS won't protect you from Intel ME though.

I wouldn't trust that company at all, they lied and misrepresented themselves for nearly three years before finally claiming to make good on what they sold their customers. Beyond that, they didn't fix it themselves as they say, they relied on the work of other projects then claimed they did it alone.

Considering the researchers who actually disabled IME require physical access to the machine[1], Purism's claim that they can do it to previously sold devices with only a software update[2] stinks of BS to me.
