Never trust Qualcomm in the linux space. It only leads to frustration. Somehow I've had to learn this lesson more than once because I'm not the smartest ARM addict.
Eudora was the first email client I used in the 90s, I didn't know that qualcomm was responsible for it's disappearance. Looks like the source was released in its last breath[0]; i'm a bit surprised it hasn't been scooped up and maintained anywhere
Ah yes, the qualcomm way. Rather than upstreaming things so it just works make a Qualcomm Linux, perhaps with NDA and laywer speak to sign off on to get access to anything at all, all to use their mediocre hardware.
Qualcomm you suck, upstream your drivers, make it open. Stop faffing about with closed proprietary junk. Somehow Intel, Tenstorrent, and AMD understand this but you don't. You aren't NVIDIA!
I was just about to complain about being locked into one kernel version, being at the mercy of a single vendor, but you said it so much better than I would have :) Thanks.

I will definitely not be touching their Linux variant for that reason. I simply don't trust the company, one bit. They are the American Huawei.
