That means nothing for the community who may need or want to fix and patch issues on their own. Instead we're beholden to Qualcomm to fix major issues on an OS it may or may not care about supporting. It also excludes other open source operating systems such as the BSD's who have to then reverse engineer the undocumented Linux drivers.

A better question: can a small company like Framework or even MNT Research build and support an open laptop around this chip?
