Qualcomm goes where Apple won't, readies official Linux support for Snapdragon X Elite | Tom's Hardware - SLRPNK

Most of the functionality is present but many important bits are still being developed.

One of the real downsides of ARM is, it seems, the relative lack of standardization. An x64 kernel? It’ll run on most anything from the last ten years at least. And as for boot process, it’s probably one of two options (and in many cases one computer can boot either legacy or EFI).

ARM, on the other hand…my raspberry pi collection does one thing, my Orange Pi does something else, and God help you if you want to try swapping the Orange kernel for the Raspberry (or vice versa)!

“So far, Qualcomm has most of the critical functions working inside Linux, specifically version Linux 6.9 that was released not too long ago. These critical functions include UEFI-based boot support along with all the standard bootloaders like Grub and system-d.”
Linux 6.9 arrives with Intel Core Ultra Meteor Lake performance improvements

You'll want this update if you're rocking a Meteor Lake laptop.
