    indeed, in fact it runs nicely on rawhide, and on freedreno too (triggers some cursor issues in mdp4 display controller code (ie. apq8064 and older) which I still need to debug, but seems to run fine on mdp5 (apq8x74, 8x84, 8x16, etc)

      Rob, can you recommend Amazon's FireTV as a lightweight desktop computer, using Fedora?

        My only complaint about the firetv was the locked bootloader.. but I think there is a current bootloader unlock. I'm using mine regularly as an xbmc/mediacenter. IIRC it has only 4 or 8GB of eMMC which is a bit tight for a filesystem, esp once you start installing a few games. I ended up hacking up my fs a bit to move data files and video/etc over to a usb hd. (But then again you need a hub if you also want a keyboard/etc)

        This might also be interesting, depending on how locked down it is:
        Razer's Android TV box targets gamers with PC streaming
        http://www.engadget.com/2015/01/06/razer-forge-tv/
        Razer has joined other recent comers in the Android TV arena with Forge TV, but unlike the others, its box is aimed squarely at gamers, not cord-cutters. As such, it's suitably powerful with a quad-core Snapdragon 805 CPU, Adreno 420 GPU, 802.11ac WiFi, Bluetooth 4.1, 2GB RAM and 16GB of storage. Yes, that'll let it handle garden-variety Google Play games for up to four players and beam them onto a big-screen TV. But the Forge TV's main powers have little to do with weak-sauce Android gaming, and more to do with Razer Bluetooth peripherals and the piece de resistance called "Cortex: Stream." That tech uses WiFi to give you low-latency streaming from a source far more suitable to gaming than a dinky Android box -- namely, your PC.


        Still wish it had an extra usb port or two, but at least 16GB eMMC. And should be an even better option for games, with the adreno a420.
