"The X13S is not yet ready for prime time with any FOSS OS"
Not a glowing review.
This seems to describe every arm device that isn't a server, or a Raspberry Pi. The mac is in the same situation. It works with a long list of exceptions, given an Asahi image, and pretty much not at all otherwise.
These community projects are great, but by the time Linux gets full support the HW is usually obsolete, replaced with a newer version, or no longer for sale, and there remains a laundry list of won't fix bugs because the hackers have moved on to the next shiny.
I don't understand why this has been going on for > 10 years and arm hasn't bothered to step in and mandate some HW or firmware guidelines like they did in the server space. All these half baked and abandoned devices can't be good for their brand, and its pretty obvious Qualcomm is happy with the current model of milking a string of failures.
