I feel this. I've had a PinePhone, PineBook Pro, and was looking at their Clusterboard but I sold the PP and the PBP and didn't buy the Clusterboard all because of small hardware issues that basically persist on all of these devices today. The PBP still doesn't sleep properly without special consideration ("hacks" basically). The Clusterboard also needs tweaks to get PXE boot working (more "hacks") and a plethora of other outstanding issues that make running it for, let's say, experiments in local K8s clusters, aggravating. With the hardware so unreliable for day to day computing it's really only for the same kinds of people who can be found with a motorbike in their garage that works, without any issues, for one glorious day out of the year. I agree with Drew: the efforts could really use some focus but people like Drew who can both lead with wisdom and scratch a bigger itch than just theirs are in short supply in the FOSS community.
