  You have to create an account to download updated graphics drivers? Bad move, Qualcomm.

  Would be good to see some real benchmarks rather than just having them state that the FPS will increase in certain games.

  Tangential question, but if I were to hunt for a as powerful as one can get linux arm laptop these days, what are the options outside of macs/asahi?

  Synaptics does the same. They only distribute to OEMs. So if your OEM doesn't update the driver you're stuck. Worse yet, if you don't want the OEM's customizations you're stuck.

  Dell used to distribute their touchpad drivers without edge-motion. So I had to force a driver from Lenovo's website to get the standard UI to work.
