I have a feeling Asahi Linux may be more usable on M1 hardware than most distros on that new Snapdragon platform, no?

@s31bz yep, partly because nobody is really doing distro integration work for X1E (yet?), copr would be nice...

but i do think it's worth noting that m1 has quite a few years head start.....

@s31bz well, I will just say this: It's entirely distros's fault! They are slow when it comes to solving problems that switching to arm64 poses now that it is coming more and more to laptops (for example, the dtb loading). OTOH, if you are a bit handy with distros like alarm, you will be able to daily drive already some of these x1e laptops. I already daily drive the T14s. Also have a hacked-up debian installer for it if anyone is interested. As long as the kernel supports your model, you should have no trouble working around the distro support. It is just a bit more hands-on.
