    Hi, Reza

    I guess you will find a more focused group for your interest in the
    debian-arm mailing list:

    In addition to Tomas's suggestion, I just checked the armbian list of
    supported SBC's, no mention of snapdragon .

    It appears to be a Qualcomm product, probably proprietary and smart
    phone targeted .  No  mentions for alternate OS's turned up in my
    limited searches.

    I knew nothing about this subject, but a little search reveals that the
    chip is a Qualcomm product intended for notebooks & laptops, and there
    is a competing product from Lenovo as well as Asus. It uses the ARMv9 architecture. According to Debian documentation, ARMv8 hardware
    appeared late in the Trixie development cycle, so it's not surprising
    there is limited support for a more recent spec yet. I expect that in
    the fullness of time, Debian will fully support products like this.

    In the meantime, following Tomas' suggestion sounds very sensible to
    keep up with the state of development.

    There's

    arch/arm64/boot/dts/qcom/x1e80100-asus-vivobook-s15.dts

    in the Linux tree since Jul 2024, so there's support for it, starting
    with linux-6.14. IIUC Debian is in the process of preparing for a new
    release which will still use an older kernel, so if you need support for
    that hardware you should either compile your own kernel or wait until
    after the next release.
