Agreed. Soon as I read the About page on their website I knew I would not be leaving Manjaro for Serpent any time soon. I am going to be watching it with interest though. I hope they pull it off, but there are good reasons why distros do not optimize to the hilt (they want compatibility with whatever the user might have) and include binary blobs (people just want their devices to work). It might work out well for PBP users, as the HW is pretty much set and Panfrost seems to be working well....but I guess we will have to wait and see...
...and I thought Ikey had gone off to write some gaming engine...wonder if he ever finished it?
