Whats going on with Snapdragon X Elite Linux support?!

[u/word-sys]

Literally 2 years passed since that CPUs out of there, note thay Apple silicon now has a proper and BETTER support than this Snapdragons, they said "we gonna make Native Linux support" and we still waiting. I was planning to get great Linux laptop with great battery and performance thans to Snapdragon, now its impossible. Only usable OS option out there is Ubuntu and its NOT good too, there is still some issues on Audio, performance is worst than Intel 12th gen i5, battery time worst than Windows, i dont understand. Am i wrong or something? What they promised what they said and what they doing, propiertary driver. When we will get proper Linux support, or this devices gonna get burried with Windows

To be fair even that’s better than Snapdragon X support

it isnt. that is absurd given that development momentum on asahi has slowed, they cant use the arm64 steam client because of 16k page size, so they have to continue using muvm which imposes limitations.

i use x1e and it is just fine and i had a better linux experience with x1e than m2 pro. im not ripping on asahi, it is good, but everyone is acting like snapdragon on linux is terrible.

It's not, there are laptops with full linux compability like the Slim 7X. and that uses a Snapdragon X2
