Yeah, I wouldn't recommend one that doesn't have mainline kernels. But Pine64 does good work on getting stuff upstreamed. The RK3399 used in the PinePhone Pro, the Orange Pi 4, Rock 4, and other boards has proper mainline support. I'm also a fan of the open sourced GPU drivers for that SoC done by the panfrost team that has desktop OpenGL support (not just the ES stuff). Pine64's QuartzPro64 board uses the same RK3588 in the Orange Pi 5 Plus and Rock 5B, and they're working on upstreaming support for that: https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/QuartzPro64_Development#Upstrea... |

Upstreaming for Pine64 devices is done by the community: https://lore.kernel.org/all/?q=pine64+rk3399+add
QuartzPro64 was recently mainlined by megous. I don't think he's employed or compensated by Pine64, but I'm not sure.
The SoCs are added by Rockchip, Collabora, and others.
