I apologize for expressing negative biases. However, I would like to defend myself. I purchased the Acer Swift Go Pro AI SFA14-11 in October 2025. Before deciding on this model, my goal was to buy a 2-in-1 tablet that supports ARM Linux(ideally ARM Ubuntu). Ubuntu offers better compatibility with Wayland, and when combined with Waydroid, it can deliver a high-performance Linux + Android GUI experience. I came across online that the Ubuntu Concept project already supported the SF14-11, so that was initially my target model. Upon receiving the product, I realized it was the SFA14-11 instead, but I wasn’t overly disappointed. The SFA14-11 boasts higher performance (equipped with the Snapdragon X Elite X1E78100 chip, whereas the SF14-11 uses the X1P) and a more affordable price point. The configuration with 32GB RAM + 1TB storage costs approximately $650 or even less.
What truly frustrated me is Acer’s lack of support for Linux. I don’t believe the company possesses genuine technical capabilities; instead, it merely integrates complete solutions sourced from suppliers. Furthermore, Acer has not treated the SFA14-11 equitably in terms of driver and BIOS updates compared to the SF14-11 and SFG14-01. Despite these challenges, a while after purchasing the laptop, I began reporting bugs on the Ubuntu Concept platform (Bug #2086813 " [X1E] Request: Add support for Acer Swift Go Pro ... : Bugs : ubuntu-concept) but did not see meaningful progress. Subsequently, I found the projects at https://gitlab.com/Linaro/arm64-laptops/ and GitHub - ubuntu/stubble: A DTB loading kernel stub, yet submitting issues there also yielded little results.
From the discussion at Ubuntu Concept ♥️ Snapdragon X Elite, I gained an understanding of the difficulties facing ARM Ubuntu development. Regrettably, I lack the technical expertise to develop or fix the required code—my only wish is to seek more assistance. Regardless, I am grateful for the efforts of all developers involved in the Ubuntu project and accept whatever outcome may result from my attempts, whether positive or negative. Shortly, following your guidance, I will supplement relevant information on AArch64 Laptops · GitHub.
