Are there any decent ARM64 computers with good mainline kernel support that are easy to purchase for less than $50?

Nearly everything I’ve seen is either unobtainium, only supported by very specific kernel builds, expensive, or some combination thereof.

If ARM wanted to make themselves relevant in the face of RISC-V and Apple M1 in-house supercores, they could come up with a reference ARM PC platform accompanied by a hardware certification program. It could look a lot like the Windows ARM devkit.

Indeed.

I thought it was a fun distraction, as it's not often you get to recycle some old junk, and mix it with new software.

This thing with a cracked screen had zero viable future.
