From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I'm searching for a Notebook and I came across one that had a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7c which grabbed my attention... My main concern was that the processor specs says:

Instruction Set: ARMv8-A64 (64 bit)

Architecture: Kryo 468

Main questions:

Does Linux already supports this processor?

What I should look at? Instruction Set (A64) or Architecture (Kyro)?

If you have time to spend... How this CPU compares with an i3 6157U?
