I haven't spent much time looking at Linux support due to having a busy personal life, so I'll live with Win 11 in the meantime.
That said, I don't think anyone has Linux booting on any Snapdragon X machines yet. I think there's a signing limitation (eg device OEM signing) and a graphics driver gap. It does seem like the first will be overcome eventually, otherwise no one will be able to build their own machine.
More people in the market means more people working on both of these things!
Had some very similar questions, TY. Hoping to get another 2ish years out of my Lenovo P70, and then I’ll be on the hunt for something smaller and lighter, preferably Linux native.
I liked the form factor of the older ThinkPads, but not much with current hardware that’s Linux friendly.
