And if so, which distro and how is it?
Yes. Gentoo on an arm Chromebook. Plasma. Runs fairly well. Battery lasts forever.
Whoa that’s awesome! Have any guides? Also how is Gentoo on Chromebook for gaming?
I just followed the handbook honestly. There’s one for ARM devices, but it’s not really necessary.
It took a LONG time to compile everything, so I don’t recommend it to those wanting a simple solution.
As for gaming? Who knows. We use the device for quick looking up of info, recipes (it stays in the kitchen), email, maybe a document or two.
Not sure how much power the Mali GPU has.
Haven’t done it personally, but I think Ubuntu would be one of the better choices. You get the Ubuntu ARM debs and ARM snaps out of the box.
You can then install Flathub and Fedora Flatpaks.
Fedora Flatapks is small and not without controversy, but one of its benefits is that all of its packages are built for ARM. Flathub and Snap aren’t consistent in doing that. Any many times you’ll find that Snap has an ARM build and Flathub doesn’t, and vice versa.
my mate runs ubuntu on snapdragon elite
That’s a really good question as I was also curious about it since we only hear about Asahi on the M Macs.
I don’t know what you can run on the Snapdragons Linux wise…
