Linux on X Elite laptops (early development)
Linux on X Elite laptops (early development)
He has an ASUS laptops, one of the only ones you can get, got Arch on there.
The devices are not even shipped for the most part, people are booting Windows, using the ACPI dump to build the device trees.
Then those need to be upstreamed into the kernel, drivers need to be written.
Its not Asahi Linux, but still hard.
But there is progress, quite fast!
Good video explaining about device tree. Hopefully we will see more support for linux next year

Linux Foundation has a lot of money, of which only 2%-4% is spent on the actual Linux development. And yes, Qualcomm is a member of the Linux Foundation.
This one of the problems. The Linux Foundation should have the opposite 98% kernel and 2% everything else (or at least close to that). There should be devs working full-time on these kinds of things. Imagine if it had 100 fellows working full time on linux, maintaining the kernel, training interns, working with downstream distros to resolve bugs, doing outreach to get more people involved in linux and its ecosystem, spending money on marketing and sales to get linux onto more devices by default...
Instead we have whatever it is that's going on now.
@onlinepersona @boredsquirrel 🤣🤣🤣 "the Linux Foundation"
Are you laughing that it exists or that it's called that? 😅
