That covers the Elite, not the cheaper Snapdragon X laptops such as the ASUS Vivobook 14 (X1407QA).

I've followed that thread for almost a year. It's a maze of hardware issues and poor compatibility.

From your other response.

>but vendors usually require a firmware binary to be signed with their keys, which are burned into the SoC. As a result you cannot use Qualcomm's vanilla firmware and need to extract the original firmware as provided by the vendor, otherwise it won't load.

This makes the install process impossible without an existing Windows install. It's easier to say it doesn't work and move on.

It's going to be significantly easier to buy run Linux in an X86 laptop.

Not to mention no out of the box Linux Snapdragon Elite laptop exists. It's a shame because it would probably be an amazing product.
