They are unknowingly benefiting from a lot of prior work upstreaming support for the rk3399, mostly because of the pine64 pinebook pro which also uses that chipset. Any random newer ARM chipset probably wouldn't fare this well, but it's good to see that that upstreaming work is benefiting the whole community not just pine customers.

edit: Looks like one of the key people in making that happen is in this very thread! Hi Megi!

Actually, Pinebook Pro users benefited from a lot of upstreaming work done/encouraged by Google/Chromium team for these devices. Upstream support for Gru Chromebooks predates Pinebook Pro exactly by 3 years.

And I did not do much on Pinebook Pro, except for Type-C port support. ;) Greetings, to you, too.
