You're the one who said that it's unreasonable to expect a run of the mill distro shipping an upstream kernel to work on this platform. But now you're trying to talk about underpowered hardware as if that has something to do with being unable to start X in the first place?
The author experienced clear signs that this platform's software support is not mature. You seem to want to blame Debian rather than the new platform and its immature drivers.
- jancsika 6y ago> The author experienced clear signs that this platform's software support is not mature. The author claimed that alt-tabbing takes about one second. This was not true on default install using Mate from December. Author claims that merely entering a directory containing a Git repo freezes the terminal. Again, clearly not true using stock Mate terminal. Author goes on to rankly speculate that the problems with this laptop may be "CPU and disk side." Again, completely misleading as to the actual hardware as I stated above. And easily corrected by merely testing with the default OS Pine shipped. Aside from Panfrost I have no idea why the author ran into those problems. But he doesn't either, and he falsely attributed them to hardware limitations when it was facile to check his error by running the laptop for perhaps five minutes in the default install.
