Following all of the [1]Snapdragon X1 upstream enablement work over the past number of months by Qualcomm and then DeviceTree additions emerging for enabling the likes of the [2]ASUS Vivobook S 15 , [3]Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x , [4]Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 6 , and [5]Microsoft Surface 7 , the Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge is the newest Snapdragon X1 Elite laptop seeing Linux DT support.

DTS patches have been posted for review for getting the Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge laptop booting on a mainline Linux kernel. The laptop's keyboard, touchpad, and UFS are known to be working but the touch-screen is known to not be working right now. As with the other Qualcomm Snapdragon X1 laptops seeing upstream Linux support work, there are often various support limitations and other caveats with these initial Snapdragon X1 laptops when running outside the confines of Microsoft Windows 11.

The Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge starts out at $999 USD and comes with a 14" or 16" 3K AMOLED display, Snapdragon X1 Elite SoC either the X1E-80-100 or X1E-84-100, Adreno graphics, 16GB of RAM, 512GB or 1TB of eUFS storage, microSD slot, and other standard laptop features.

Those interested in this Linux work on the Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge can find the patches on [6]the Linux mailing list while hopefully they will be tidied up in time for the v6.12 cycle.
