choroot,
I have wrestled with Nvidia CPUs on regular X86 and x64 Linux and I agree, it's not an ideal situation. That could improve but it would take a lot of hours of labor to port that over to arm64 most likely.
I was at least half-kidding when I typed that, but your reply is helpful in case people start thinking they might be able to build decent gaming machines out of a PINE SBC. Maybe one day, but it would be a big change. I can run a few games on my PineBook Pro, I think freedroid and maybe dink smallwood, both fine games that have been the same for many years. Of course, there are a lot of emulator options, but I bought an RG350M for doing that and it's pretty solid. Will likely do a retro game build on one of my PINE devices just to have something connected to my TV or perhaps the 32" monitor I have with a VESA mount.
