Won't run blender. 4k video cannot play. 1080p video is extremely choppy. But aside from that, it's a smooth desktop experience. Well done!

I'm having the same problem.

[khanumballz]

Current workaround:

1. Use Ubuntu Rockchip 22.04 only.
2. Download BoxBuddy (flatpak) and Distrobox
3. Install Ubuntu 18.04-docker
4. Install blender on dockerized ubuntu 18.
5. Install virgl-server on host machine.
6. Install blender 2.79 on boxbuddy-ubuntu 18 (sudo apt install blender will do)
7. Now run: virgl_test_server & on host machine (or tmux > virgl_test_server)
8. And then in dockerized ubuntu 18 run GALLIUM_DRIVER=virpipe blender

You can then use Blender 2.79 with hardware acceleration. (About 5x more FPS)

Probably won't work with any newer version of blender. Cause of problem = Lack of Vulkan support on mali g610 drivers. Not sure if this will close this issue, or not.

Oh, I'm using 24.04. But still thank you for the workaround.
