> SoC – MediaTek MT8167S quad-core Arm Cortex-A35 processor @ 1.3 GHz with Imagination PowerVR GE8300 GPU
Is my knowledge outdated or are MediaTek SoC generally a pain to work with in GNU/Linux ?
Any information whether this SoC is supported by mainline Linux or if support will be merged in mainline Linux?
That is very important imho.

Last time I checked SBC opensource GPU driver development pretty much everyone gave up on PowerVR.

This is why my Beagleboard is gathering dust. The proprietary GPU drivers only worked with particular kernels that were usually out of date. Steer clear of PowerVR would be my advice.
