I want to be able to buy ARM boards like I'm buying ITX PC boards. I don't want a special build of Linux from the SBC OEM, I don't want weird bootloaders, firmware and other embedded-like stuff. I just want an ARM-based PC board for my desktop and server closet (so Ampere stuff is out of the picture unfortunately).
Qualcomm has been upstreaming kernel support for their chips recently, so I'm hopeful.
preach. and i want this to extend to phones too.
Yeah, I want edk2 uefi and mainline linux support at least for most functions (dont care about npu for example)
The O6 runs mainline pretty good, only hiccups I know of are gpu acceleration and the npu.
