Qualcomm brings official Linux support to Snapdragon X2 PCs

Qualcomm has released an early Linux developer preview for Snapdragon X2 Series PCs. Its reference setup uses Debian 13 with a custom kernel while more hardware support moves upstream. The company says Debian support is planned by the end of 2026, and Canonical is targeting certified Ubuntu support in the first half of 2027. The preview is useful for developers now, but it is not yet the same as polished, broadly supported Linux laptop availability.
