Thanks to Canonical and Ubuntu 24.10 for ARM, I was successful today in
installing from their interim release a full Linux distro with support for most
of the drivers I need, there are some important ones still missing, like
USB-A and Audio. But it didn’t take long, just had to figure out a few things
so. I made this video so you would miss some of the pain.
Happy Halloween!

Would be very interested in a second generation X Elite. The mobile 8 Elite looks like a beast. Having that but tailored to PCs would be fantastic.
DJ I have a what-if question.
Back in the day when Intel and AMD had legit competitors, what if any of them got money and survived, would any of their architectures have delievered better chips? Would the current chip landscape be different?
Good eve sir does it means it can support too in snapdragon 8 elite too?
Love from Nepal ๐ณ๐ต
QRD on the snapdragons? What the fuzz about it
For battery optimization, it would be interesting to see how nicely these snapdragon chips would play with utilities like TLP or even TuneD's "powersave" profile
Thanks for testing it, Snapdragon on Linux is interesting however the GPU is too weak compared to AMD Strix Point
Greetings!
A question on a slightly different subject.
I remember that several months ago you were planning to a release a series of videos on migration from Windows 10, which is nearing its end of life, to Linux. Being very much interested in this topic, I watched first couple of videos, but I do not recall continuation of the series (unless I missed or misunderstood something).
I would love to know whether you are planning making any additional video regarding migration to Linux for disillusioned Windows user (it would be great).
Thank you!
I know it sounds stupid, because most of us Linux people use Firefox or the like, but I still don't like how Google doesn't make ARM64 binaries for Chrome on Linux. It really doesn't make any sense – they make them for their own ARM-Linux platforms (Android and ChromeOS), and recently made a version for ARM Windows – but not regular old ARM Linux?
Work is being done and progress is being made. That's all we can ask for.
"Linux on Snapdragon X Elite."
Have you ever done a video on building up from a terminal prompt to fully functional system??
what will happen to the Linux kernel when Linus Torvalds retires ?
The real issue with Linux isnโt the operating system itself, but rather that much of the available software isnโt as reliable as it is on Windows. Additionally, thereโs still a limited selection of high-quality, paid software options.
As always appreciate your updates, and timeliness, letting us know wheels are turning, progress is progressing. It's encouraging.
Just sound bugging – BT works so I'm fine, the Plasma DT rocks.
Since you talked about the phases of development of a Linux distro, do you happen to know why doesn't Canonical fix severe bugs such as the new flutter installer crashing? Or a desktop icon estension bug being stuck on "In Progress" for many months. That one prevents you from renaming files on the desktop by using arrows.
I understand that security is more important than bugs and Canonical doesn't have infinite resources, but such an unstable installer should not have been used in an LTS that's going to be supported for 10 years.
snapdragon x elite v. mini-mac pay-per-view, only at DJ ๐
There's going to be a point where Linux can be installed and run without Windows on these things. That's when I probably pick up the Snapdraggon Thinkpad used from ebay.
Great video. The beard looks great on you. I considered getting a snapdragon based laptop, but I guess I'll wait till next release.
