Fedora 44 Could Work Nicely "Out Of The Box" On Snapdragon-Powered Windows ARM Laptops (www.phoronix.com)

Longtime Red Hat engineer Hans de Goede who worked on many Intel/AMD laptop enhancements over the years left Red Hat and ended up joining Qualcomm. Now it turns out one of his projects at Qualcomm is enhancing the Fedora Linux support for running nicely out-of-the-box on Snapdragon-powered Windows on ARM laptops.

Hans de Goede filed a change proposal for providing automatic DTB selection on AArch64 EFI systems. The change proposal still needs to be voted on by FESCo but given it's rather straight-forward, it will presumably fly without objections.

Which laptops are going to be sold with Fedora "out of the box"?

Probably around zero, but to make fedora on arm as easy to install as on x86 would be pretty nice.

Some Lenovos.

Regardless, that's not what this headline means. It means install it and everything works, with no need for installing custom modules and stuff like that.
