    And here I was hoping they'd decided to support Linux on the Snapdragon X2 chips.

      I recently tried to get BSD/Linux to work on my omnibook X 14 and... it's been a journey!

      Eventually I got it to work well with [1] and extracted firmware off github because I had wiped Windows and all partitions into oblivion.

      I was looking for the bliss of fan-less linux with ARM. The joy! [2]

      [2] the fans are ON permanently

        If you want fanless arm linux machine, why not macbook m2 air + asahi linux ?

          Asahi still doesn't support a lot of basic things like: external displays, Thunderbolt, hardware accelerated video decoding, 120hz refresh rate, etc.

          Asahi is like a decade away from being 100% tho

          Because at the time of my purchase I mistakenly believed that fan-less was a given for an ARM laptop; and that ARM laptops were a lot more supported than Apple products; some big names were using ARM linux and raving about it.

          It's still is a great laptop and I recommend it for the hardware overall, but not fan-less indeed.

          Something has gone wrong at HP. They are also charging $7,000 for Strix Halo.

          $4,300-$6,000+, wow you're not wrong. And that's just 32 or 64 GB of RAM.

      I have a gorgeous Surface Pro 11 X1 Elite that can run just enough Linux to tease me with how beautiful it could be, but it's still unstable enough that I can't daily it.

      Torture.
