Discord for Support? That would require me to either use my personal discord for work, or make a work discord.

There does not appear to be hardware virtualization support, so those would work but you'd be using software virtualization which will be slower.

I'll try running firecracker later and see if it'll boot.

Funny. Just upgraded to 6.4.1 and got another hour of battery life.

I have one (16GB model), and have (arch) linux on it dual booting with Windows! Started @ https://github.com/ironrobin/archiso-x13s

  * Battery Life. ~6/7 hours max as it currently (linux-x13s 6.4). There is a lot of room for improvement, which will happen as more people tune/tweak.

  * Performance. Honestly, the only noticeable issue is lzma2 compression. It's ass slow, even when using 8 threads. Other then that- Gnome (Wayland), CLion, Firefox, and Rust have no issues. I can't think of any performance issues when comparing it to my HP 14t-ea000, which is a 11th gen i7. 

  * Stability. Firefox occasionally crashes and I've not done enough digging to file a ticket on it yet. The WiFi Drivers crash on suspend (https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=217239) but it's being worked on. The GPU crashes on startup but recovers. Going to file a kernel report on this one when I get around to it. I'd put it at 95% of what I'd expect on my x86-64 laptop. 

Camera doesn't work (yet), as well as some of the other GPU features. BIOS is limited, and boils down to full access to the security options as well as the to-be-expected Lenovo keyboard options. There's a "beta" Linux boot option, but I didn't need that when I first installed linux. Actually, I'm not sure what I'd want exposed in the BIOS that's not already there. Memory Overclocking?

It runs cooler than my HP, which runs on the hotter side. Port selection is limiting, but having a 5G Modem is cool. Arch has almost all of their packages cross compiled to arm64, and I've not run into an issue where there was a package I needed that wasn't there.

TL;DR. A Very functional laptop. I've started using it as my primary laptop, but still carry my HP with me if I'm traveling somewhere. Give it a few months for the kernel issues to be ironed out and it'll be a very nice laptop.

I made a very similar project in Rust that seems to mimic this idea: https://github.com/volfco/boxcar

The core idea I had was to decouple the connection from the execution of the RPC. Mats3 looks to be doing a lot more than what I've done so far, but it's nice to see similar ideas out there to take inspiration from.
