https://www.phoronix.com/news/Snapdragon-8-Gen-3-Linux-6.8 https://www.phoronix.com/news/Snapdragon-8-Gen-3-Linux-6.8 > Granted, this is just about the SoC support and Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 devices of upcoming smartphones/devices will still need their respective Device Tree files added to the kernel along with any other peripheral driver support or pieces like the Qualcomm AI engine we haven't seen open-source patches for yet. Another article seems to go into more detail (https://www.phoronix.com/news/Qualcomm-Mainline-Linux-2024 https://www.phoronix.com/news/Qualcomm-Mainline-Linux-2024): > But still a work-in-progress is audio support, DP Alt-Mode, enabling the DSPs, USB-C power delivery, and GPU acceleration. Hopefully the hardware is similar enough to older models that it's not too difficult to port existing open source GPU drivers, but with Qualcomm, I'll believe it when I see it.
