      their desktop OS. Not any.

      There is no standardardized firmware interface like UEFI or BIOS, and most device drivers for snapdragon arm chips are not available mainline.

      This won’t be as open as the steamdeck unless they put a lot of work into it that I’m not sure they’re willing to do.

        Oh I guess I meant the open KDE Plasma Desktop Env. I would think it’s grub bootloader with Arch base again so I would expect other distros to load.

        I could be wrong, but it would to more work to make it not work tbh
