Linux on Snapdragon X Laptops?


I'm considering buying one due to their reasonable price and impressive power/performance ratio. So I wonder if anyone has been able to run a Linux desktop on Snapdragon X laptops?

I have not. But if it was my plan, I would buy a Snapdragon Thinkpad because Thinkpads have the best Linux support.

For reference the T14s has a page that doesn't appear to list terrible problems.

Don't see why it wouldn't work, as UEFI is basically a hard requirement for running Windows. With UEFI support, there's a lot of functionality that's assumed to be there (e.g. basic graphics) that the question becomes "is this actually good?" rather than "can this work?".
