Only about 720,000 Qualcomm Snapdragon X laptops sold since launch — under 0.008% of the total number of PCs shipped over the period, or less than 1 out of every 125 devices

It’s just an expensive paperweight until we can run Linux on it.

Partial support is coming in four years time they’ve announced. We just have to wait 🫠.

Cool, maybe I’ll get one in 4+ years. Or maybe I’ll get an x86 laptop. But I’m not getting something that doesn’t support Linux properly OOTB.

Now you can install uboot and get a property uefi implementation it shouldn’t take too long: social.treehouse.systems/@cas/113539953511804908

I need to check the driver situation but I don’t think there was anything particularly windows only on the SoC.

Finally, you can run U-Boot on #Qualcomm WoA laptops! Sent an RFC for EFISTUB support, so we can kill the buggy EFI and run our own :D https://lore.kernel.org/u-boot/[email protected]/
