Yeah, I used to do that with OpenBSD. You could install pre-compiled binary packages or build from source tarballs which there was a set of patches for. But I had the source code to everything, patches like for vulnerabilities were distributed as text patches so you'd patch the source and recompile.
LFS has potential if they ever think beyond Intel/AMD, yes I know there's a Pi version.
I think some Malis are better supported than others by ARM. The one (T860?) in the Pinebook Pro is actually supported for Vulkan. Panfrost where needed but try to live without it. I've come to think of Malis as throw-away chips mostly intended for making fast money in the cell phone game, which is a shame.
