The situation is getting better though, for example GPD Win is mostly supported now.
Yes, it does make sense. There are currently no x86 devices on my list as it was based on device trees found in the kernel and x86 does not use device trees. If anyone has tested a mainline kernel on x86 devices and can help document them, I'll add them to the list.

That's good news about the GPDWin. Hans de Goede has done a lot work on mainlining devices. His name can be found in the header of many of the device trees above.
