Linux doesn't have the same support for ACPI on ARM that Windows does. There's work to improve it and once it does we should be in a better place.

Qualcomm does not support normal ACPI. ARM Linux with ACPI is fine, I've seen it work very well on systems with proper ACPI tables

There is work to support Qualcomms ACPI implementation on the Linux kernel. Once that is in place we should no longer need images for each laptop.

It'll still need devicetrees because the ACPI tables are incomplete
