However, I am not sure how many games could be ported to this device, because of its limited support for OpenGL. A device using the Qualcomm Snapdragon that may be more interesting is the Amazon Fire TV, which could be used as a sort of desktop when running Linux. The Adreno can be found in the Qualcomm Snapdragon, which can be found in a lot of mobile phones and tablets, because of its excellent support for 4G LTE. However, as of recently Nvidia has been doing a great job by providing Linux4Tegra, and by contributing to Nouveau, the free and open-source Nvidia driver for Linux.

The importance of developing free and open-source drivers mostly lies in not having to deal with restrictive binary drivers, because most of these require a specific configuration of the software involved (a specific Linux kernel version, a specific version of X11, softfloat vs. Among these, the only chips that support OpenGL are the Adreno (OpenGL 2), which has its roots at ATI/AMD Radeon, and the Nvidia Tegra 4 (OpenGL 4). In the past few years, a few attempts have been made to open up several of GPU chips, as a result the following free and open-source drivers are being worked on: lima (ARM Mali), tamil (ARM Mali-T), grate (Nvidia Tegra 2, 3 and 4), etnaviv (Vivante), freedreno (Adreno). As opposed to the x86 platform, there are indeed two problems to solve, namely: a completely different ISA (ARMv7a) and the lack of OpenGL hardware (most chips only have support for OpenGL ES).
I am one of the people involved with and, two communities that aim to document installing Linux on the Samsung Exynos and Allwinner SoCs respectively.
