I've ordered a Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 6 - it's running the Qualcomm X1E ARM CPU, and I've been wanting to switch to ARM for a while.

It's only supported with Windows, but because @tobhe is totally smashing it (such a hero!), I have no reason not to just flush the Windos part and install Ubuntu Concept on it.

As with other early adopter setups, you will probably only need Windows to grab firmware things and to firmware updates.

There's more info about the ongoing efforts to get everything working on with Ubuntu for X1E laptops here: https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/ubuntu-24-10-concept-snapdragon-x-elite/48800/72

Also the #aarch64-laptops IRC channel on the OFTC network is a place to hang out if you're an early adopter.

Can't wait for this adventure.

Ubuntu 24.10 Concept ♥️ Snapdragon X Elite

Great stuff! I got linux running on my HP Omnibook X 14! Windows-on-arm still boots (now via grub), Debian boots, Laptop-Display, Keyboard and Touchpad work. I’m a bit struggling with a missing dependency of “sudo apt install qcom-firmware-extract” due to a missing dependency - but this challenge is already addressed above. My detailed installation steps (as far as I could document these) are listed here: http://wiki.andreaswarnke.de/index.php?title=X1E-78-100

@lkarlslund @tobhe So what's the feedback? Is it working properly?

@stephane_klein @tobhe I'm running Ubuntu Concept on it, and it's still early days. A few things are not working (sound, camera and fingerprint reader), suspend isn't deep so there's a noticeable power draw. Otherwise it's great, I love that machine. I hope it will be my daily driver laptop in a.couple of months.
