even moreso with an nvme ssd (minus suspend not working with nvme...)
Admittedly, the one I built myself was the last RC of 5.7, not the actual release. I've also ran it with latest mesa-git. No luck with stable GL acceleration, the only way I could avoid kernel panic is by setting LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE. I haven't yet tried the actual 5.7 release.

Well there is 5.6 kernel in Debian Sid and 5.7-rc5 in Experimental, but neither is usable. You can try using xmixahlx's script to build your own kernel, but my own attempt at 5.7 didn't yield much improvement over the linux-image-5.5.0-1-pinebookpro-arm64 by danielt, with PBP still freezing/panicking at every opportunity it gets if I actually use the GL acceleration.

Is PBP not supposed to be supported in mainline 5.7? If not, do you know what is missing?
AFAIK it is supposed to be fully supported. And, unlike with 5.6 or 5.5, the machine does start properly and is usable. But I've been unable to get working GL acceleration so far, and unless my unit is somehow defective again (the original Pinebook I got kept crashing when RAM usage was going above the mark of about 1.25GiB, IIRC) I have no good idea why.
