    Qualcomm had an exclusivity deal with Microsoft which has expired. I think that’s what is causing them to put relevant code in mainline.

      Ahh so it’s qualcomm themselves doing this? that’s awesome actually I thought it was just more people were interested in reverse engineering them now to get linux going on the new wave of laptops

      Shame gaming on arm kinda sucks at the moment as a whole though
