Works is a bit of an understatement, with a package library that's close to surpassing that of ppc64[0], thus becoming the third largest.
I've used mine as a desktop for a while, but now it's been repurposed as home server.
It runs Debian trixie (still not frozen, just sid + small delay), with a generic kernel (not vendor crap) and root on ZFS, a 1TB M.2 SSD, with an external 22TB disk, also ZFS, on UASP USB3 enclosure.
Compared to the rpi4 it replaces, it is somehow actually faster. Sustains 70MB/s aes decrypt (luks), where the rpi4 gave me <50MB/s.
Graphics support is indeed early and tied to an ancient vendor kernel, but Imagination Technologies is funding the mesa3d effort. It will eventually (hopefully soon, there's been hints recently) simply just work with open drivers.
