[–] funkajunk@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 child) Fedora should run just fine on that thing permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Buffalox@lemmy.world -5 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 child) Why do you think that? Last I heard these Arm laptops have all sorts of problems, and they apparently also have boot lockers. This is what Google has to say about it: Running Linux on the Acer Aspire Go 15 (AG15-Q31P)—which features the ARM-based Qualcomm Snapdragon C processor—presents significant hurdles. Because Snapdragon ARM chips require specialized upstream kernel support, device trees, and signed drivers for components like the Adreno GPU and Wi-Fi, out-of-the-box mainline Linux compatibility for this specific entry-tier ARM platform is currently experimental and incomplete. Edit: To the Idiots downvoting because I show the AI result, but have nothing to offer on the issue themselves. 🤡 🤢 This thread on reddit says the same thing, although there are disagreements: https://www.reddit.com/r/linuxquestions/comments/1nrva4o/are_qualcomm_snapdragon_supported_on_linux/ But clearly not solid info that would make me risk buying a device that may or may not work. Pick your poison. Edit PS: I also don't see why Fedora would run better than other distros? Maybe they have an excellent Arm team IDK? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] lime@feddit.nu -1 points 2 weeks ago (1 child) you asked ai? cool. i asked my dog and got basically the same answer. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Buffalox@lemmy.world -3 points 2 weeks ago (1 child) It's consistent with what I've read other places, there's a reddit thread saying almost exactly the same. Claiming it's like asking your dog is a crazy strawman by you and pure idiocy. And you show nothing to expose any inaccuracy in the Goggle response. In short you are wasting my time and I will now block you because you are just annoying. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] daggermoon@piefed.world 5 points 2 weeks ago Can you block me while your at it?
