I am thinking to buy a arm laptop how is the linux support on that device mainly fedora or Ubuntu can this be daily driven should i consider it if i buy i think i am going to get that within a month time so can expect somewhat a good service.
I don’t care about that npu stuff i find they have merged some of them in kernel still i dont care but what about the performance.
Can i install fedora just grab a iso arm and install is it possible now. Or i need to wait for 41 to or 42. For a support.

I recommend that you ask if a specific model of ARM laptop is supported by Fedora once you know the details.
Its not just Fedora that you need to support the ARM laptop, but the linux kernel.

I heard that the Snapdragon CPUs are just getting the support.
There will be a Tuxedo/Schenker model with likely no other strange peripherals. The CPU will have good support, all Fedora variants support arm64, but some laptops might have strange hardware outside the CPU.
See microsoft surface laptops.
I have visited a shop they told me asus and lenovo and some other branded copilot pc is coming and they only have a asus models for show i asked them i bring a usb with ubuntu or fedora can they boot with that usb and check howbisbthe performance they denied. They don’t have any device for purchase right now. They will provide the device once they have for retail. May be in a month or so. The issue is they have told me the model no of the model but I can’t recall that.

Good luck! If you boot, use the hwinfo utility and upload your reports to linux-hardware.org
This tests a ton of compatibility that you wouldnt see immediately.
