It should be noted that many laptops with core boot allow you to disable intel ME, such as those from System76 and other Linux hardware vendors. You can also do this yourself either by flashing a custom UEFI like coreboot/libreboot/etc or by using a tool like me_cleaner.
I did this a couple years ago on a think pad t480 using the me_cleaner method and a ch341a programmer. But nowadays that same laptop has libreboot support which is even better. Either way check if your hardware can be modified this way because it grants that extra level of security and privacy
