Apparently the Windows exclusivity period has ended, so Google will support Android and ChromeOS on Qualcomm X2-based devices, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45368167

I mean if the experience is as good as any x86 laptop I'd try it in terms of installing any linux distro I want. No interest in android/chromeos myself.

Even Android/ChromeOS should support standard Debian Linux in a VM. If Qualcomm makes a Linux dev box available (announced last year for X1, then sadly cancelled) with UEFI/SystemReady, then mainline Linux developers could contribute to device support.
