After promising everyone this Windows on ARM launch was totally different than the previous ones, turns out it’s not.
Makes sense to continue the support since these components may be reused in other systems.
Instead of wasting time on supporting bullshit hardware that almost nobody owns and will be forgotten in about 6 months, what about placing some effort into real hardware that real people want to use like tablets? Fucks sake.
If your hardware ain’t working maybe there’s barrier to devs working on it caused by the designer/manufacture. Or we have not paid them enough for it to be worth their time?
It’s not “my hardware” it is that everyone talks about Linux desktop yet nobody puts any effort into going into the tablet market that is where Linux can have a real advantage (because ARM + full desktop OS experience) and get a large user base.
I’m guessing it’s because the developers either have a different speciality that they focus on, are employed to support specific hardware, or both.

Um I think it’s worth noting they had only been actually out for a month, and had unfinished firmware, etc.
Qualcomm basically said that if devs wanted to develop for their snapdragon laptops they should buy one of those, but six months after they came out is not a great time to make up your mind about that.
