To the best of my knowledge there are almost no arm board with opengl
desktop support, but there are boards with es2 support.

Now the question is: is it worth to enable es2 support if there are no
specific hardware specified? (ie, like vivante or bcrm2) Or maybe
there are board with benefit by just using -opengl es2?

I came to this by reading
https://wiki.qt.io/I.MX-6#i.MX6_support_in_Qt_5.2_and_up


My main gripe is to understand if distros like Debian should or not
enable opengl es2 when they don't know in advance on which specific
boards they will run.

Any kind of extra info on the subject will be higly appreciated.

Thanks in advance, Lisandro.
