@drewdevault Are you willing share what prompted this comment?

I admit I'd likely get surprised by the same.

And there is a new Player just around the corner. With RISCV we might have this all over again :(

@drewdevault "Perfect mainline Linux support" for a SoC is cool. But even better would be create compatible hardware, so that Linux, Windows, DOS, Xenix, ... can be ran on the hardware without needing any support. PCs in 486 era used to be like that, everything compatible with everything else, and it would be good to get there again with Risc-V. Asking not for compatible instruction sets, asking for compatible platform.

@drewdevault Which would also rule out current Intel platforms. I'm not claiming vendors are perfect here, most of them aren't, but we also don't have a good path to upstream for some features on these product sheets.

@drewdevault sadly I don't think there is a single vendor that meets that requirement. I have way too many arm systems that kinda sorta mostly work.
