I'm waiting for Android Virtualization Framework to run a full Linux distro on my smartphone with portable monitor (glasses). Already using Termux but AVF is hopefully much more performant. Maybe the Samsung S26 Ultra will have full support. I might ditch my miniPC if this works out.

I run Linux on a Thinkpad T13s, with the previous generation of Snapdragon CPUs. It runs great - quick, excellent battery life and very stable. Installation is a bit obnoxious, but nothing a modestly seasoned Linux veteran can't handle.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Very informative, thank you. I was about to buy one of their products but this made me pause. What you think would be the alternative in Europe ?
Basically the same things happened to my tuxedo also. With the addition of having to change batteries once a year, because it would drop to half it's factory charge, which wasn't really sufficient. I also gave up on them when they wanted so much money for a screen change (which died after about 3-4 years). I've replaced it with the new framework 13 inch, which so far works well , but I've only had it for 4-5 months.…

Flawless on a ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 9 and on an HP EliteBook G6.

As someone with a Yoga 7x .. I'm still waiting. It's not fully supported. The issue is drivers for peripherals and wifi. I think the GPU is now supported. It's been a long wait, mostly due to Qualcomm as I understand.
Does Linux arm64 run Windows x86 applications in Wine? I mean, I'd be surprised if it did, but I need that. Otherwise an arm64 Linux laptop is super tempting.

Full Linux distro already works fine on my Librem 5, without unnecessary, costly virtualization.
Tho, I really want this to happen. As far as I've tested on Volterra (ms dev kit 2023), linux has a lot going right for it. there is a ton of ARM64 packages, and drivers just work (e.g. I had to wait so long for Wacom to release WoA drivers while it worked out the box with ARM64 linux builds). the potential is there and it's great.
On a last note, not being able to ship necessary firmware and relying on a WoA boot drive still sucks.
Is there something like Rosetta for linux?
