alt Hacker NewsDoes that mean that one will be able to purchase tablets with this chip and replace the OS with Linux?
That would be great. As far as I know, there currently are no options for lightweight tablets that support Linux.
Not sure how well WSL2 on tablets work. Does anybody here have experiences with WSL2 on tablets like the new Microsoft Surface Pro that uses the Snapdragon X Elite chip?

I have the 8 gen 3 and wsl and hyperv work fine just can't really use x86 binaries / containers / operating systems.
The Linux support on the X1E today is lacking. I’m much more optimistic for the X2E.
The hardware is great, though, I love the 12” Surface with the X1E. WSL2 works great!
I really hope this is the case because I’d love to have an arm64 laptop for work. Then binaries in my laptop will work on my embedded systems, generally.

Apparently WSL2 does work, it pulls a native ARM64 Linux distro and then proceeds as usual.
