All 3 Libre Computer Board boards have Mali graphics.

On the i.MX side, the only i.MX8 board I know of that can be bought for money right now is WandPi 8M.

The Asus NovaGo is something I would want too, but it doesn't advertise Linux support.

Conclusion: I'll build my own Asus NovaGo based on WandPi 8M and duct tape. Yes, I've preordered two, to be on the safe side. I already have a USB powered screen. Half the weight will be the ridiculous coil of HDMI cable, but that's a design tradeoff I'm willing to accept.
