Honeycomb LX2 ARM Workstation: An Alternative to x86

Hmm, says workstation, but doesn't seem to include a gpu. But it does have a PCIe slot. Whats the chance that modern gpu would work with it?

I suppose nvidia's binary blobs wouldn't work, but perhaps the AMD stuff might? Or perhaps the upcoming dedicated intel gpus?

Currently any GPU that supports an in kernel OSS driver will work, so mainly using the amdgpu or nouveau driver. We are working nvidia on some issues regarding using their binary Aarch64 Linux drivers. That is kind of the point of HC, if the platform didn't exist then Nvidia would never be looking at these issues.

I'm running OpenBSD on it with an amdgpu WX2100 card, works nicely.

Should work fine. They recommend AMD gpus.
