I really like my new (used) ARM laptop #thinkpadx13s with Linux. A big step from my previous #pinebookpro in snappyness.

#opensuse and #ubuntu work really well. Ubuntu even has a no frills standard out of the box installer.

#thinkpad

absolute beginner

It's surprising how running #Linux on #Snapdragon based machines isn't there yet. So that means those #ThinkPadX13s examples will be out of my reach for a few more years!

I have a Thinkpad X13s and so far the reccomendation seems to be to keep a small Windows partition for firmware updates.
That said, there are a few articles about firmeware update with Linux, but no idea how mature that is.

I recently bought a #thinkpadx13s and it is quite well supported by Linux. (I tried Ubuntu and opensuse)
If I wanted to spend that much money I probably would get a refurbished MacBook Air M1-2 with #asahi Linux.

The #Qualcomm #RB3-gen2 arrived in the mailbag today thanks to a customer. I'll be working to get this running @fedora RSN. I've been working over the last few weeks to improve and polish the Lenovo #ThinkPadX13s experience in #Fedora. Looking forward to some polish and some fun news soon!

AFAIK the current number of devices with somewhat working cameras is still short:
- #librem5
- #pinephone
- #pinephonepro
- #thinkpadx13s

However there was great progress to pave the way for more devices - and apparently the #pocophonef1 will be next, see https://fosstodon.org/@joelselvaraj/112621744555315631

So looking forward to what this cycle brings :)

Attached: 1 video Yay! Got the imx363 rear camera working in my Poco F1 (SDM845) running a near mainline kernel! πŸŽ‰ Here is a quick demo of Megapixels and Snapshot camera apps running at 1080p resolution. Full resolution of 4032 x 3024 is kind of buggy with only 2016 x 3024 pixels stretched into 4032 x 3024. Needs some work before wider use by community though. An important milestone for SDM845 devices nevertheless! πŸ˜‡

#firefox #webrtc using #pipewire and #libcamera (with softwareISP) on a #thinkpadx13s - it finally works \o/

The required patches will also make things work for a bunch of #linuxmobile devices.

lieber arm drin als arm ab

#thinkpadX13s

@urusan lets see the upcoming Qualcomm devices. Waiting a few months this time could be a world of difference if things pan out.

Otherwise #ThinkPadX13s , Chromebooks (with various degrees of success), #pinebookpro , #mntreform. Pick your poison there.

While Apple isn't a company to encourage, @AsahiLinux is hands down one of the best projects to follow. Getting a second hand device is an option - just saying.
