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).

The O6 runs mainline pretty good, only hiccups I know of are gpu acceleration and the npu.

Qualcomm has been upstreaming kernel support for their chips recently, so I'm hopeful.

		It seems they've been stopping short of completion. Once the next gen chip is released, they are done and stop working on fixing issues. Hopefully, with some time this gets better as it's not like they have to start from scratch with each generation. But it does leave a sour taste in my mouth that they quit so early before finishing.

Yeah, I want edk2 uefi and mainline linux support at least for most functions (dont care about npu for example)

		Why would you ask for a pony and then only want half? Let's get mainline support for all functions, like the NPU.
