Wow, I've completely missed that! Hopefully the bootloader can be freed from Microsoft's grasp

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

What is the battery life/performance compared to a X1 nano for example (similar size but x86)?
Just out of curiosity, what would you hope toget out of the arm CPU? More battery life or better performance for certain tasks?
Mostly looking for a good performance per watt ratio. I am interested in this one particularly because of the fanless design and low weight (Starting at 1.06kg / 2.35lbs).
All I see is Windows 11 Home or Pro?
Edit: Oh I see, I thought you meant they would be purchased with Linux preinstalled.
My question was more about compatibility. Preinstalled Linux is not a must, but would love to know if there are any blockers (bootloader, drivers, etc.).
Gotcha. Different machine and price point, but I'm happy with my X1 Carbon. Battery live is 8-10 hours under light use with screen brightness turned up.
