Testing some games and emulation on the Radxa Dragon Q6A Snapdragon SBC. PS2 emulation works fine with Vulkan, but I saw some issues with OpenGL.
Tested the Linux games Speed Dreams, Luanti and 0 A.D.
And Half-Life 2 from Steam with Fex-Emu and Android with Waydroid.

It's the first time that I have an SBC that can run OpenGL 4.6 on the iGPU. The Radxa Dragon Q6A (Snapdragon QCS6490 ARM SoC) can start Blender and Godot without having to spoof a higher OpenGL version.
Video playback still needs some work.

I received the Radxa Dragon Q6A, a Qualcomm Snapdragon Dragonwing QCS6490 single board computer. I was able to put it in a generic Raspberry Pi case. I'm not sure if the case has enough room for the eMMC/UFS module.

Has it ever happened that you installed a Linux package from the command line, and ended up with something that you didn't expect?
Some distros don't have the package chromium, and will suggest to install chromium-bsu.

Manjaro (Arch Linux based) is still being maintained for ARM. You can get pre-release builds from Github. I'm testing the EFI image on the Libre Computer Alta, with the Amlogic A311D.

Qualcomm isn't exactly known for good Linux support, but for now I have enough choice with the Radxa Linux image, Deepin, Fedora, Armbian and Arch. The Radxa Q6A should arrive in two weeks.

It's an early release, so there are still some issues, but the performance looks promising.

I hope you don't have the VisionFive 2 v1.2a RISC-V SBC, as the manual upgrade process takes a long time. The new 202510 Debian should work directly on the v1.3b board and the VisionFive 2 Lite.

Testing the game Veloren on ARM. I had an issue with a disappearing mouse pointer on Wayland, so I switched to x11. Performance was also a lot better on x11. I hope they will improve compatibility with Wayland.

Fedora allowing AI-assisted contributions has started a lot of discussions. Some distros have banned AI-assisted contributions for now, but what if Linus Torvalds starts using AI to help with kernel maintenance?

My first test with Rusticl, an open-source OpenCL driver.
With Mesa 25.0 it still has some issues on the ARM Rockchip RK3588 with the Mali-G610 GPU.
I'll test it again in the future once I have access to a newer version of mesa-opencl-icd.

Someone mentioned you can use the Android app Local Dream to run Stable Diffusion on the NPU of a Snapdragon 8 chip.

There are a lot of apps to run AI locally on your phone. Nexa AI asked me to have a look at their Android app. As they released a fully working app for free, I made a video for free. Some models need fast hardware (GPT-OSS 20B). Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 or better recommended.

Upside of using #bevy and open tooling is you can get your games to compile on non corporate approved architectures. I just got the #aarch64 and #RISCV builds running. If you have real RISC-V hardware and want to test let me know. Here is the game running natively on a Pine Book Pro. #GameDev
