I feel like Microsoft's current stand on this is weird. They're either not as enthusiasting as Qualcomm and just riding along, or their terrible execution makes them move really slow.
There's not much Qualcomm can do about Microsoft lifting its bum to help them, but they can support a kickass Linux experience.
And why intel sits around licking Microsoft's boots. All these decades when they too could have been pushing good Linux support as a hedge against Microsoft doing exactly this I'll never know.
The second m1 dropped, amd and Intel should have been all in on pushing a well-supported Linux desktop to compete with that. They dropped the ball of course and let Microsoft just fumble away with Windows like they have been for the last decade and a half.
Implementing this hedge in these gigantic multi-billion dollar companies would have been what maybe five $10 million a year? Peanuts.
