I received the Radxa Dragon Q6A, a Qualcomm Snapdragon Dragonwing QCS6490 single board computer. I was able to put it in a generic Raspberry Pi case. I'm not sure if the case has enough room for the eMMC/UFS module.

Has it ever happened that you installed a Linux package from the command line, and ended up with something that you didn't expect?
Some distros don't have the package chromium, and will suggest to install chromium-bsu.

My first test with Rusticl, an open-source OpenCL driver.
With Mesa 25.0 it still has some issues on the ARM Rockchip RK3588 with the Mali-G610 GPU.
I'll test it again in the future once I have access to a newer version of mesa-opencl-icd.
