@stevel @lazygamereviews #Funfact:

#Microsoft actually knows they have no leverage in reality, which is why when #Lenovo, #Dell & #hp came to them to demand better #terms or they'd switch to #Linux, Microsoft decided to pay them $25 per #Windows Pro preinstall instead.

  • I think what is needed is not just Linux-friendly #hardware, but explcitly Windows-unfriendly hardware and #software.

Tho the only reason Microsoft's managment hasn't canceled #OTP #CCSS and replaced it with #SaaS-only shit is because they'd instantly piss off too many #customers and #ValueRemoving #rentseekers that run the entire "#Antivirus" cottage industry.

  • Remember: Noone asked for a #CopilotPC or #Copilot or #AI bullshit, and when #consumers are given a fair choice they'd refuse to pay the premium for WinShit which is the inferior option.

Linux 6.15 will support ASUS Zenbook A14

ASUS Zenbook A14 is an ARM64-based laptop that uses the powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon X chipset (either X1-26-100 or X1P-42-100 with 45 TOPS). ASUS considers it as a Copilot+ PC that weighs under 1 kg and promises up to 32 hours of battery life. The laptop features a 1920×1200 14-inch OLED display, 16 GB or 32 GB of LPDDR5X RAM, and 512 GB or 1 TB of NVMe storage. It runs Windows 11 as a primary operating system.

As for the chassis, the Ceraluminum chassis is a military-grade US MIL-STD 810H standard to ensure that your laptop is the toughest. Right now, it only supports Windows, but open source developers are working towards opening support for this laptop to run Linux efficiently.

Linux 6.15 ensures that this happens by adding support for this laptop. Right now, support is similar to other Snapdragon X1-based laptops, which means that the following features are not expected to work: (listed below is the abovementioned laptop in this case)

  • Audio (Speakers/microphones/headphone jack)
  • Camera (OmniVision OV02C10)
  • HDMI (Parade PS185HDM)
  • EC

The following features have been added to support said laptop as of this patch series:

  • Keyboard
  • Touchpad
  • NVME
  • Lid switch
  • Camera LED
  • eDP (FHD OLED, SDC420D) with brightness control
  • Bluetooth, WiFi (WCN6855)
  • USB Type-A port
  • USB Type-C ports in USB2/USB3/DP (both orientations)
  • aDSP/cDPS firmware loading, battery info
  • Sleep/suspend, nothing visibly broken on resume

However, the key differences were:

  • Wifi/Bluetooth combo being Qualcomm FastConnect 6900 on UX3407QA and Qualcomm FastConnect 7800 on UX3407RA
  • USB Type-C retimers are Parade PS8833, appear to behave identical to Parade PS8830
  • gpio90 is TZ protected

However, those additions are currently under review and will land to the main Linux 6.15 branch once accepted.
