@nprofile1q... helloooo it's the nerd that did the elitebook ultra g1q on postmarketos

given you were interested in chimera linux on snapdragon x, what are your plans for support for those laptops here? imo casuarina could have a great advantage here since postmarketos not having glibc greatly complicates running x86 stuff on there in my experience (yet another compatibility layer on top of everything else, much is broken), not to mention if you're feeling a bit more ambitious the postmarketos tooling should be pretty easy to adapt to casuarina as well. i'd do the latter myself whenever you get around to aarch64 support, but for now at least, i'm quite overloaded in terms of projects

P.S. if you weren't aware, the slim 7x seems to be pretty well supported now, not sure what kernel versions works but even just stock pmos trailblazer w/ (at least) linux-next works apparently. for reference, even my more niche laptop worked great for a bit (though the kernel regressed and it no longer boots, at least on stable), so i doubt you'll face many problems

I initially thought I might eventually pursue an aarch64 build of Casuarina, but after some back and forth with q66, and thinking about it some more I've decide...
