Let's start with my mistakes:
- I haven't followed LKML.
- I assumed: Every ThinkPad has - overall - perfect Linux support, so this will as well.
- I did look up support when purchasing but I was still not verifying on the LKML.
- Edit: I trusted Qualcomm's marketing
So, I wanted a ARM-Linux laptop so bad. I heared about the Lenovo ThinkPad X13s in 2023 and I looked at marketing promises and (rare!) takes on it. Then there was the opportunity to buy this laptop fir a good price with the entire stats I would require for my next 10+ years. So I bought it.
In order to bake Linux on it I had to read up upon many things - I run it daily but have to accept some downsizes.
Anyhow, I thought this title would be interessting regarding Lenovo's and Qualcomm's "success" on ARM so that others may be aware that I am looking daily for the LKML and my model SC8280XP.
There is ONE SINGLE CONTRIBUTOR (there were two; The other joined Lenovo) allowed to have "elected and requested" documents in order to aid support. Despite their intentions (QUALCOMM) to support Linux. And I furthermore assume it hasn't have changed with the new Snapdragon X processors.
So, thanks to John Hovold and Linaro for doing an awesome job. I wish I could support you.
