A usable, fully libre system can be achieved. The lack of a free GPU means the dependence on software rendering affects the performance of the machine. machine (an experimental driver, panfrost, is in development and can be used). Das U-Boot can be installed which makes installation of an OS much easier (mainline is currently broken, commit 8e2e601c5f5aff522cbdfff2445599d8d23827a0 is known good).
