• Video decode/encode
• NPU/AI acceleration
• Proper power management Linux still boots… but you’re stuck with half-baked support forever. That’s exactly why TUXEDO Computers canceled their Snapdragon X1 Elite Linux laptop after 18 months — BIOS, fans, KVM, USB4, battery life… all broken. Windows-first confirmed.
