Hm, that would need a plethora of work atm. While there is an Ubuntu
ARM system targeted at ARMv7+ architectures one would need to add a
custom kernel package to it amonst other things. As noone has done so,
you'd either have to do it yourself or look for someone doing it.


This might be a lot of work or it might not, depending on the state of
the Ubuntu ARM release.

But I would not expect Luke to put in this effort at this stage, since
there are a plethora of options available already, most respecting
your freedom better than Ubuntu.

I think so too

I just saw in the rumor mills that AMD Zen APUs are planned to go down to 4W. Now I don't know how open those will be and if they'll run without microcode blobs but one can dream...
