> Perhaps the community will manage to get it to run Linux.

You should expect Qualcomm to contribute support to the kernel for Snapdragon X, as they've done with several predecessor SoCs. I would be surprised if it was not already running Linux inside of Qualcomm.

Of course, Qualcomm's got room for improvement here but IMO they're moving in the right direction.

Qualcomm's mainline Linux support has been abysmal as far as I know. Community got some support upstreamed.


My understanding is that they're awful for Android but quite good with Chromebooks, so there is hope (w.r.t. mainline Linux support)
