Other than battery optimizations pretty much all of the issues don't exist on something like a Raspberry Pi which is RISC architecture (Broadcom chips). Sounds like Qualcomm just doesn't have their shit together.
Can't say I'm surprised given how much Qualcomm has prioritized Windows over Linux support for years now.
Their drivers are SHIT, for wifi there is CNSS, ICNSS, then QMI, all do the same thing, but differently, but NO, it's the same thing, but what does this do??? Is this really a different event or is this just rewritten in that event? Idk still, no one knows.
Edit: I tried to port the not working kernel drivers for the wifi on the Redmi Note 9s to postmarketos (wifi is not working), didn't work and it's now on LineageOS
