Supposedly this thing comes with the Imagination Technologies BXE-4-32 GPU. Anyone know if this is supported out of the box by Linux/Mesa or if it's a black box? I've been burned by evil secretive GPUs in SBCs before.

The article discusses this and links to this page which was news to me: https://developer.imaginationtech.com/open-source-gpu-driver...

There is a libre Vulkan driver for recent PowerVR GPUs in mesa, but it isn't up to Vulkan 1.0 yet. Once it is usable, the mesa zink driver will provide OpenGL support via Vulkan. Debian doesn't compile the driver yet either.
