I wish there were more development with the Cherry Trail Atom AMD64 devices, drivers are a mess and I am not sure there is one with complete sound, WiFI, BT, sensors, camera, GPS, and of course telephony and data drivers for Linux(forget 3D accel), not even with bin-blob drivers. It would require a distro effort on par with LineageOS or Ubuntu but with tweaked feeds for every individual device unlike how one size fits all for most desktop and laptop computers.
I feel like this is the only current pathway for us to have a real easy to hack device again.
Maybe this is a bad attitude because AMD64 is as much so we cna have desktop compatibility with crappy closed bin executables and libs as drivers.
