Acer has finally released its long-awaited Snapdragon C-powered laptop. The new model undercuts the MacBook Neo while matching its 8GB of memory and offering more ports, though Acer has cut a few corners in the process.
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.

To the Idiots downvoting because I show the AI result, but have nothing to offer on the issue themselves. 🤡 🤢
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.
Fedora should run just fine on that thing

This thread on reddit says the same thing, although there are disagreements:

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?
you asked ai? cool. i asked my dog and got basically the same answer.

Can you block me while your at it? I have the feeling we’re not gonna be best friends. Cheers.
