       I patiently awaited the arrival of Fedora 44, as they had put work into a better out of the box experience on Snapdragon X ARM laptops². I tried it over the weekend… and it didn't work. First I had to discover that you have to manually edit the kernel command line in grub¹ to have any chance of it booting, but even after multiple attempts it never got further than a few systemd boot messages. So the Yoga 7x goes back in the corner again. ¹ https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Snapdragon_WoA_Laptop_Install² https://www.phoronix.com/news/Fedora-44-ARM-OOTB

       @wezm Have you tried the latest ubuntu, or the 'ubuntu-concept' tree - it's specifically tweeked for the Snapdragon X laptops, although I believe most of it is now in the current Ubuntu.It certainly works on my Asus Zenbook.(There are a few chunks of firmware that you need to get from places for some things, but it gets it going OK)

       @penguin42 I tried earlier versions of it but I'm pretty allergic to Ubuntu, so have been waiting/hoping for alternatives. https://www.wezm.net/v2/posts/2024/linux-on-yoga-7x-snapdragon/
