Incoming Apple’s M4 vs Snapdragon Elite X

Plus then Snapdragon is already actively and first-handely support Linux and free-as-in-freedom software.

I can’t wait to get one

I’ll try it because Sosumi which uses snap has some issues when dealing with some part of data linked in another partition (don’t ask me why I did it)
