Description
For the last decades the desktop computer and laptop markets have been dominated by Intel x86 and later amd64 CPUs. After Apple's successful switch to arm64 in 2020, large PC manufacturers such as Dell and Lenovo have now followed and released laptops based on the new Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite arm64 CPUs.
This talk will discuss the current state of the Ubuntu Desktop ecosystem on arm64 laptops including community driven initiatives like Ubuntu Asahi and the Ubuntu Concept project. Finally I want to highlight the challenges and opportunities arising from overcoming the x86 legacy.
