Linux support also appears to be coming along nicely (though not ready yet).

It is ready. I only used to dual boot Linux, but I switched completely over 6 months ago with zero issues.

I think he mean on these new, modern ARM laptop. None has actually work well so far. This newer Qualcomm chips are those that they themselves put the effort in. Rest were few far and between - garbage from Qualcomm and rest is from community.

I didn’t say I used copilot 6 months ago. I use Linux.

Linux, as in kernel: Yes. Qualcomm doesn’t develop FOSS GPU drivers, though. freedreno only supports older Adreno GPUs.

open source drivers were developed for apple’s gpus, so if there is demand seems like someone would do it for qualcomm

It’s better to support open hardware that doesn’t rely on unsupported reverse engineering by community contributors.
