Linux on embedded plattforms could be so great, but the most projects can't be done without graphic drivers. So you have usualy two options, use android or the wi***** crap. I closely follow the Sailfish OS development, hope that the libhybris/wayland stack get better and easier to use.

There is a third option; pull up your sleeves and get to work reverse
engineering Mali-600 (or pestering ARM to release some docs finally)
and help the lima folks start adding support for that. Anything else
is just a workaround, a dead end and a waste of time. That people
would actually think about using the blobs plus libhybris just makes
me sad.
