For me, it'd be a close one between the Steam Deck and the Pinephone Pro. Although, the thought of having a phone that runs GNOME sounds like a whole lot of fun, so I think that I'd have to give it to the Pinephone Pro

A little question: are the projects you are following Libre Hardware or are just Open Design with the Free RISC-V ISA and that is all?

i'm not really sure tbh

the particular one that I really want to get is called mangopi, and it's based on the allwinner D1 core, which in turn uses alibaba's xuantie C906 core, which is open source, however I'm unsure whether other components of the board are open source (like other controllers and stuff), but at least it claims so on their website

yeah, arm/riscv manufacturers are infinitely better at naming their components than x86 component manufacturers ๐Ÿ˜„
