Hi everybody,
as per the request for owners of ARM devices from major brands to get in touch, I’d be happy to help with testing EOS ARM on my new ThinkBook T16 G7 with a Snapdragon X Plus X1P-42-100.
Gladly let me know where to direct feedback or anything specifically that’d be helpful for y’all to be tested 
Kind wishes
Yeah, if it doesn’ŧ take away too many resources from a small team, I’d like to see a modern OS like EOS on such devices.
They usually have crazy battery life and are a perfect choice if you have to work on long road trips, flights, or just out in the wild. I still love my old Ideapad D330-10IGM Convertible (x64 though), just because I can work 6–12 hours straight with one charge. Using ARM, newer devices can go 20–30 hours, which would just be perfect. If not restricted to Windows.
It’s on my to do list, since I also have a Snapdragon Laptop, but the current state of development and support is very rudimentary since there is no kernel support yet.
For now I’m running 
arm using WSL on my Snapdragon Laptop.
Heads up: it appears that with kernel 6.16 (released yesterday 2025-07-27) support for Snapdragon X1P42100 was added.
I’ll take a look soon. Have any other distros announced support for Snapdragon X Elite laptops? This includes the bootloader. I heard that the bootloader is different for different Laptops.
Also have you heard of anyone dual booting? I can’t currently use my Snapdragon Laptop completely for testing since its my daily driver. Would love a safe method to test on my current machine.
I believe that Ubuntu 25.04 has some support for Snapdragon X Elite devices (using kernel 6.14 afaik) but I couldn’t get it to boot on my machine so I think they’re definitely missing X Plus support for now. Maybe the daily build of Ubuntu 25.10 sports more support but iirc they’re not using a newer kernel (6.14.0 I think) than 25.04.
Other than that I’m not aware of any distros outside of Arch and probably other rolling ones that even come with a kernel beyond 6.14, unfortunately.
As for the bootloader I’m afraid I’m not sure either. Sorry to not be of more help! I appreciate your work very much!
