Perhaps the community will manage to get it to run Linux. Software availability for ARM is one area where Linux beats Windows. Let's hope not to see Qualcomm's usual shenanigans around hardware/drivers in PC chips.

You should expect Qualcomm to contribute support to the kernel for Snapdragon X, as they've done with several predecessor SoCs. I would be surprised if it was not already running Linux inside of Qualcomm. Of course, Qualcomm's got room for improvement here but IMO they're moving in the right direction.
