In der aktuellen c’t (Heft 11/2025) gibt es wieder einen Bericht zur Situation von Linux auf Snapdragon Notebooks:
I am using Tumbleweed on a Thinkpad X13s. That is not the snapdragon mentioned in the article but a predecessor.
openSuse support for the Thinkpad X13s is quite good. Installation needs manual some work, but nothing very complicated and it’s described in the Wiki page for the laptop.
It runs very smooth with most important functions working.
In the moment the X13s is second hand much cheaper than the Snapdragon X. Once they also get cheaper ARM on Linux will get a big push, I am sure.
