Back in mid-2024, the Bavarian Linux PC vendor TUXEDO Computers teased plans for developing a Snapdragon X Elite Linux laptop. Initially they hoped to have it out by Christmas 2024. That didn’t happen and now approaching Christmas 2025 they confirmed they have stopped their plans for shipping a Snapdragon X1 Elite laptop for Linux customers.
Earlier in 2025 they confirmed various obstacles they had been hitting with the Linux support around the Snapdragon X Elite effort. They did get to posting Linux kernel patches for the Device Tree on their planned laptop. As recently as in early November they posted the latest Linux DT patches for their ARM laptop with the effort appearing to still be ongoing – even with Snapdragon X2 Elite laptops for Windows on ARM now coming about.
LOL that doesn’t answer how!
I still don’t understand what you’re asking lol
They were wondering the technical approach not logistical.
Obviously the logistics are “more money” but given that much about steam is devices is open, they were wondering what technical approach may have been taken, and whether it might be open and possible to piggyback off of.
What were specific compatibility patches for the kernel, I guess, but I am also not sure
