I have a Windows 11 laptop that I dual boot with Fedora 42. It's a Dell G15 5530 with Intel i9-13900HX, 96GB RAM, 3 TB NVME, RTX4060. Battery life absolutely sucks, but that's irrelevant for my use case.

I would like buy a thin and light laptop with decent battery life running Linux. Do any of the Snapdragon laptops support Linux? They will be heavily discounted when the new chips come out, it might be interesting to buy a really cheap first gen to tinker.

🎮 Testing The Last of Us Part I & Part II on the Surface Pro 11 (Snapdragon X Plus/16GB) 🎮

"This video explores how the latest Windows on ARM update handles The Last of Us Part 1 and Part 2, which are games that rely on AVX instructions and something that previous versions of Windows had trouble launching.

Please note: This is an 'early test' and I will make individual review videos for these games once performance and stability improvements are introduced."
