That you do run today (even though you don't know it), most likely.
If you have a modern Intel processor. Some of us went AMD to avoid all that, although it's not exactly clear what's running in the negative rings of those either.
Doesn't AMD run Minix? What other such systems could it use?
AMD CPUs have something called a Platform Security Processor baked into their chips, and don't have Intel's Management Engine, so if there is even a full OS in there, and I'm not convinced there is, it's probably not Minix.
