经过18个月的开发，一个基于高通骁龙X1 Elite (X1E) SoC的ARM笔记本项目已被搁置。尽管最初充满希望，但X1E的Linux兼容性低于预期，未能实现预期的电池续航、BIOS更新功能、风扇控制或完整的USB4/虚拟化支持。视频解码虽然在技术上可行，但缺乏应用支持。鉴于这些限制以及预计于2026年初发布的更新、更强大的骁龙X2 Elite (X2E)，进一步开发被认为不值得。团队将评估X2E的Linux兼容性，如果X1E开发中的大量基础工作可以重用，则可能会恢复该项目。所有开发工作，包括设备树，都将贡献给主线内核，以惠及更广泛的Linux社区并改善对兼容设备的的支持。

## 骁龙 X 精英笔记本停产及 ARM Linux 讨论 Tuxedo Computers 已停止销售搭载骁龙 X 精英 SoC 的 ARM 笔记本，引发了 Hacker News 的讨论。最初对高通承诺的 Windows 和 Linux 同等支持的热情似乎有所减退。用户质疑骁龙 X 上的 Linux 体验，一些人指出英特尔的 Lunar Lake 芯片现在提供可比的性能和电池续航，并且具有完整的 Linux 支持和更好的散热管理。多位评论员强调文档是一个关键问题——高通缺乏开放硬件文档阻碍了 Linux 的开发，这与苹果对 Apple Silicon 上 Asahi Linux 的支持形成了对比。虽然 ARM 有潜力为 ARM 服务器提供高效的本地构建，但 Linux 支持和文档的现状仍然是一个障碍。 Linux 笔记本电脑的电池续航也存在争议，ACPI 实现和设备挂起问题被认为是主要原因。然而，一些 ThinkPad 和 Lunar Lake 笔记本等硬件支持良好的设备可以实现出色的电池性能。这次讨论强调了在各种笔记本电脑硬件上实现最佳 Linux 支持的挑战。

原文

In the past 18 months, we have been working on an ARM notebook based on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X1 Elite SoC (X1E). At this point, we are putting the project on hold. There are several reasons for this.

Less suitable than expected

Development turned out to be challenging due to the different architecture, and in the end, the first-generation X1E proved to be less suitable for Linux than expected. In particular, the long battery runtimes—usually one of the strong arguments for ARM devices—were not achieved under Linux. A viable approach for BIOS updates under Linux is also missing at this stage, as is fan control. Virtualization with KVM is not foreseeable on our model, nor are the high USB4 transfer rates. Video hardware decoding is technically possible, but most applications lack the necessary support.

Given these conditions, investing several more months of development time does not seem sensible, as it is not foreseeable that all the features you can rightfully expect would be available in the end. In addition, we would be offering you a device with what would then be a more than two-year-old Snapdragon X Elite (X1E), whose successor, the Snapdragon X2 Elite (X2E), was officially introduced in September 2025 and is expected to become available in the first half of 2026.

Resumption possible

We will continue to monitor developments and evaluate the X2E at the appropriate time for its Linux suitability. If it meets expectations and we can reuse a significant portion of our work on the X1E, we may resume development. How much of our groundwork can be transferred to the X2E can only be assessed after a detailed evaluation of the chip.

Many thanks to Linaro

We would like to explicitly thank the ARM specialists at Linaro for the excellent collaboration. We will contribute the Device Tree we developed, along with further work, to the mainline kernel and thereby help improve Linux support for compatible devices, e.g. the Medion SUPRCHRGD, and thus make our work available to the community.
