Software
What is the current and planned state of software features?
The somewhat related ROCK64 has not advanced on the software support of hardware for a while:

The competing Odroid XU4 is doing well with Android, Ubuntu + Wayland + Chromium + 1080p/WebGL
https://forum.odroid.com/viewtopic.php?f=96&t=26172
but has 1/2 the RAM and no 4k.
The industry leader raspberrypi has good software support but vintage hardware.
As nice as the hardware is people will only swarm in to buy it if the software supports it. So please make a list of all the missing features, and benchmark all the working features.

@elatllat Progress on adding Rockchip support to LibreELEC is progressing steadily and I think it will be ready when LE9 with Kodi v18 arrives. You can follow the progress here: https://github.com/LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv/commits/rockchip
@elatllat This is a collaborative effort between the Libre Computer Project and Team Firefly. We will solicit software support feedback once the boards are delivered and forward them to the respective software teams.

@Ubaldo Android is not ready for prime time yet. It will take another two weeks for formal Android release.
