TUXEDO on ARM is coming 🔧 As you may have gathered from the relevant press over the last few days, we at TUXEDO are working on an ARM notebook with a Snapdragon X Elite SoC from Qualcomm. Read more: https://www.tuxedocomputers.com/en/TUXEDO-on-ARM-is-coming.tuxedo 45 comments
 @tuxedocomputers @karlnepomuk Hm, honestly in that case there's only a limited plus for me, I don't care which ISA my system is running on. And if it's just another beefy laptop with a fan but now running ARM instead of x86, the upsides are much more limited. I hope there'll be other vendors who'll build something of a MacBook Air alternative, maybe @system76 or @frameworkcomputer, idk?  all we want is *less* powerful, less overheating, less fan noise, more battery life :ablobcatheartsqueeze:  @tuxedocomputers This is awesome! Is there any chance to get the hands on that device on any conferences where you're an exhibitor? Thrilled to see what it's like. @tuxedocomputers Great! We can also speak about this on our #FocusOnLinux #Podcast if you want to: https://focusonlinux.podigee.io/ Would love to report on your progress.  @tuxedocomputers Fantastic news! @volfpeter @thelinuxEXP  @tuxedocomputers @volfpeter And, of course, I’d love to be able to preview the device :) @tuxedocomputers this is fantastic news! We even have a small but expendable Section about gaming on arm based Linux here: https://holarse.de/category/freie_stichworte/arm We would love to check this out when this machine gets available! @tuxedocomputers Good! There is definitely a lack of ARM hardware that runs Linux. I hope you also consider a Tablet / Convertible that runs Linux. @kontrollierterWahnwitz @tuxedocomputers This has the potential to be my next computer. @tuxedocomputers Nice! Do you have any estimates about the expected battery life yet? Will this be available as a 14" or (even better) 13" device? @tuxedocomputers @fnord one tiny request: if possible don’t make the chassis thinner; if you have extra space, I’d rather have a 2/3/4 day battery life instead ;) @tuxedocomputers @fnord another request: please have a 64GB SKU if the laptop will have soldered memory; if LPCAMM2 is used, I don’t mind a single memory configuration ;)  @thefossguy @tuxedocomputers @fnord It’s an SOC, so the memory will definitely be packaged alongside it. Upgradability is one of the main drawbacks in the context of ARM based computers, but I’m all for it due to the crazy efficiency. @tuxedocomputers Thank you, looking forward to learning more details as development progresses! 🙂👍   @tuxedocomputers Sounds great but I find it frustrating that the trend seems to be for smaller sizes. As someone with vision issues I need a minimum of 15".  @tuxedocomputers Nice to see high-end ARM laptops designed for Linux!! 🚀 I was already wondering when the Snapdragon X chips would start to trickle down to Linux OEMs!  @tuxedocomputers With "Adreno GPU" -> so only OpenGL ES will be supported? (meaning half of the gpu-related software will not work? As similar to Rpi?). Will we have full Vulkan API support? Will there be full support for NPU available? Lots of questions...😅  @tuxedocomputers Ooooh I'd love to pick myself up one of these at some point to do ARM enabling for #Fedora #Budgie Spin!  @tuxedocomputers there's no proper ai implementation into the linux kernel or Linux desktop itself so how can i use the npu in snapdragon cpu.will tuxedo implement something ai like ollama or like so. @tuxedocomputers if @ONLYOFFICE is shipping an ARM Flatpak in the future, Apple Silicon might be a thing of the past for me! @tuxedocomputers great to hear. This means more testing and updates for Linux on arm right? |
