Pine64 can play native android  4k video
But will it play the video on Linux?  As I said, I don't care what it can do under Android, I bought it to run Linux.  Will it support the DSI based LCD under LInux?  Will there be any 3d optimizations by using the GPU? Will the camera work under Linux with full video and 5MP still support? Will the wifi/bluetooth card work under Linux (for both wifi/bluetooth)? What about the ethernet adapter.

Whoop-de-do.  That is a very low bar to cross.  If it supports the graphics screen at all, no matter how slow, it will support LibreOffice.  But is the graphics environment usable?

I dunno, I have been using Linux since 1995 and UNIX before that since roughly 1982 (with a brief stint in 1978).  I have used Linux on PowerPC (currently server class, but back in the day embedded systems), x86 (going all the way back to Pentiums and 486's), arm (Raspberry Pi).  I have used UNIX on machines made by Data General, Digital Equipment Corporation, Sun Microsystems, Sparcs, and a NS32K server system, etc.

And I have been working on GNU source (mostly GCC) since 1986 or 1987, so I am familiar with open source communities.

This is some video running linux
This is a video of an orange pi running an X display, but this forum is talking about pine64.  Raspberry Pi video works also on 4 different display types.  However, at the SBC (single board computer) layer, a lot of low level details matter.   The question is does pine64 have paid developers bringing up Linux on their boxes to iron out the problems that are unique to the pine64, or are they using the field of dreams method that a lot of hardware companies use, thinking that magically somebody will support their box for free.

In addition to developers working on the support issue, are these developers known by the other Linux developers and distro maintainers so that the source changes have a hope of getting back into the official sources?  If you have never worked in an open source community, it can be hard to get your changes in.  It is an iterative process when you might work on stuff, and adjust it to meet the code base, and you have to support it in the future.  You can't just dump your changes without modification and walk away.

So far, from my reading of these various threads, that while the pine64 developers seem to be decent hardware engineers, I'm not sure they grok open source and open source communities at all.
