He has an ASUS laptops, one of the only ones you can get, got Arch on there.

The devices are not even shipped for the most part, people are booting Windows, using the ACPI dump to build the device trees.

Then those need to be upstreamed into the kernel, drivers need to be written.

Its not Asahi Linux, but still hard.

But there is progress, quite fast!

Linux Foundation has a lot of money, of which only 2%-4% is spent on the actual Linux development. And yes, Qualcomm is a member of the Linux Foundation.

This one of the problems. The Linux Foundation should have the opposite 98% kernel and 2% everything else (or at least close to that). There should be devs working full-time on these kinds of things. Imagine if it had 100 fellows working full time on linux, maintaining the kernel, training interns, working with downstream distros to resolve bugs, doing outreach to get more people involved in linux and its ecosystem, spending money on marketing and sales to get linux onto more devices by default...

Instead we have whatever it is that's going on now.

@onlinepersona "the Linux Foundation", a newbie just reads it thinks that Linux is unified & has a big oranization regulating it & stuff 🤣 , but in reality, even a 5 YO with a PC or laptop in his parent's basement can create a Linux distro, without having access to anything but some mediocre documentations
