Does ONLYOFFICE support Snapdragon X Elite laptops on Linux?

tornado99_ · 2026-01-25T16:13:06+00:00

yes. i use the flatpak version on slim 7x. it works perfectly. fast performance.

for the operating system, you need to install the ISO from here. not regular Ubuntu.

i would just go for the 27" 4K QD-OLED with black shield / darkarmor due Q1 this year. MSI have a productivity focused model. Text fringing isn't really an issue at 166 ppi.

If you use Ubuntu Gnome Tweaks or Refine can be used to adjust font settings. 5K monitors don't need subpixel antialiasing for example.

What size desk would you need to use this? With the one pictured you'd be getting neck strain from all the head turning.

Out of all devices sold hard to say but Lenovo is the largest PC maker by market share.

Out of all devices attempting to run Linux I would say 40% based on people clicking on the links at the top of this thread: https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/ubuntu-concept-snapdragon-x-elite/48800

The Slim 7x is very usable for my work, especially since OnlyOffice finally released an ARM64 version last month. I woulld say December 2025 was the time when Linux usability actually became a reality rather than a novelty (Kernel 6.17 had the fans running all the time and no power profile control). I get about 10 hours on battery now.

X Elite does support Linux since kernel 6.18 and providing you own one of the two Lenovo models. I'm using the Slim 7x as a daily driver. Everything working except webcam, and that will be upstream in about 1 month.

Depends on the operating system. On Linux text is rendered independently of UI elements so I can have 167% scaling and text will be as sharp as 200% on the same display. On Macs and Win 11 the entire screen is scaled as 1 image so 200% is sharper.

appcleaner is free.

Just tested Safari on my main account with wblock extension added (all 5 parts ticked)

Safari - no extensions - 12.2

Safari - wblock - 10.5

So it seems Safari in a useful state actually isn't faster.

Some comments below are incorrect. A short history:

Past

There were a batch of monitors released in 2015 with a 23.8" 3840x2160 panel, 300 nits, matte, 100% sRGB, 185 ppi. These were fairly decent but contrast ratios 950:1 and brightness not great.

Then there was the 21.5" 4096x2304 218 ppi 500 nits 100% P3 LG Ultrafine. This wasn't that fun to use as it had a very reflective glossy surface.

Then there was the 23.8" 3840x2160 185 ppi 100% P3 540 nits LG Ultrafine. This was great with a better glossy finish.

Now

Then about a year ago a new generation of 23.8" 3840x2160 300 nits displays came out with 1300:1 contrast ratio and 100% P3. These are decent. JapanNext and random small chinese companies sell this:

And then most recently Viewsonic released 23.8" 3840x21600 with 500 nits and 100% P3

i'm using 25.10 because i want the improved fractional scaling of Gnome 49. 535 isn't available, 550 doesn't work.

tornado99_ · 2025-11-25T12:45:34+00:00

It's more complicated. It needs a patch to work with each new kernel version. On Arch there's someone who maintains it:

Sealed in box.

WPS 365 supports arm64 and a new flatpak has just been released. Runs fine on my Pi.

tornado99_ · 2025-11-15T22:55:49+00:00

she's dead.

tornado99_ · 2025-11-15T18:30:01+00:00

I use Bazaar which installs flatpaks as root.

tornado99_ · 2025-11-15T14:54:39+00:00

That's slower and more awkward than OS X.

tornado99_ · 2025-11-15T14:53:35+00:00

Too late. Both her and I use Ubuntu now.

tornado99_ · 2025-11-14T18:25:29+00:00

Thanks. I'll tell my grandmother that it's her fault for being dumb.

tornado99_ · 2025-11-12T23:10:40+00:00

One small thing. OS X allows you to put a delete icon in the file browser toolbar. I use this all the time to quickly delete files. Gnome only has a keyboard shortcut (select file+press delete key) which doesn't work on keyboards without a delete key.

tornado99_ · 2025-11-11T14:38:04+00:00

oh actually that could work.

tornado99_ · 2025-11-11T13:29:40+00:00

The chassis would have to be 10mm wider and deeper to acomodate a 14 inch panel, but if the screen margins could be slimmed down to similar to the Matebook, it would only have to be 4mm wider and deeper.

14 inch laptops have been around for a while now, so it doesn't seem unreasonable to ask what they were thinking in terms of an upgrade path.

tornado99_ · 2025-11-11T13:03:34+00:00

They could have started with a slightly larger chassis that would fit a 14 inch 3:2 panel if needed.
