The Ubuntu installation worked right away and I did not get a dark screen 
When I tried to install 0.147ubuntu1.1 manually I got:
warning: downgrading initramfs-tools (0.147ubuntu1.0+x1e0) to (0.147ubuntu1)
I will comment the bug.
Wifi completely broken on non-Ubuntu kernels. Tried 6.15 and 6.16 from @glathe’s Drive so far.
6.15.0-jg-4
6.16.0-rc3-jg-0
6.16.0-rc4-jg-0
6.14.0-35.35 from Ubuntu’s x1e PPA works perfectly fine. This is the dmesg logs: Ubuntu Pastebin
Does anyone have any idea what’s going wrong?
Still had issues on 6.14.0-35.35 on battery power. Much more stable/less packet loss after I turned off power management for wifi adapter. This is on Lenovo slim 7x.
varun@varun-yoga:~$ sudo cat /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/default-wifi-powersave-on.conf
[connection]
wifi.powersave = 2
varun@varun-yoga:~$ iw dev wlP4p1s0 get power_save
Power save: off
@tobhe thanks for the info!!!
6.16.0-rc2-jg-1-qcom-x1e is running fine on my t14s gen6. Had it running for two weeks with no crashes anymore. This was maybe the most stable kernel build I’ve used on this machine, thanks @glathe.
Now I’m testing 6.16.0-rc4-jg-0-qcom-x1e with no issues so far.

I had some back and forth with recent kernels/updates, but I can confirm that with 6.16.0-rc3-jg-0-qcom-x1e and initramfs-tools-0.147ubuntu1.0+x1e0, I now see the FDE password prompt!
Btw: external screen now usable again (see Screen dead with 6.15.* · Issue #35 · jglathe/linux_ms_dev_kit · GitHub if interested).
Interesting. I’m running 6.16.0-rc3-jg-0 on a Slim 7x (plugged in) and am not experiencing wifi problems.
Hello to everyone. Very impressed by the beautiful emulation around this subject.
To be honest, I am quite new to Linux (mainly experienced Mint through guidelines…) and I (boldly) bought a Snapdragon-based Asus Zenbook A14 (not equiped with Snapdragon X Elite but Snapdragon X1-26-100). I am trying to read and search tips through this huge topic, but I am a bit desperate.
The installation of Ubuntu Concept 24.10 (dual-boot with W11) runs well for me BUT I am stuck with two problems now:
-1/ the machine does not see any WiFi equipment
-2/ (probably related to 1/) I can’t install the “additional firmware files” as suggested here with the sudo-installation of qcom-firmware-extract : it points out “Unsatisfied dependencies : qcom-firmware-extract : Depends: dislocker but it is not installable”.*, just like in Ubuntu 24.10 Concept ♥️ Snapdragon X Elite - #104 by andwarnke
→ could these parts be downloaded and manually copied at the right place ?
Would someone have any idea to get further ? Thanks a lot.
For the record, one last thing is that the battery level is not supported (0%-error displayed).
edit: I tried and failed to boot on Ubuntu 25.04 ISO : after choosing “Try or install…”, I get “error: file “casper/dtbs/x1p42100-asus-a14.dtb” not found” and come back to the previous installation.
I figured it out. The AP had multiple BSSIDs broadcasting the same SSID. What should be happening is that the client should automatically pick the best one, but that was what was causing the issue. After picking the correct BSSID from network manager(and disabling wifi adapter power management), wifi is working really well even with the 6.16 kernel. It had packet loss issue even with 6.14 kernel, although it was lot more stable if I didn’t explicitly pick right BSSID with that version.
I also ordered a dual screen 2.5k x2 portable external monitor. It relies on MST w/ USB-C DP alt mode. I think changes from recent kernels should give it enough bandwidth. So let’s see how well it works.
Does anyone test it on Surface Pro 11 is the external keyboard work
