This is about Snapdragon X1 Elite, not Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. These two are completely different from each other on a support perspektiv, even if they share a lot of architecture.
Lastly, when it comes down to device by device, they can have vastly different glue logic (hardware), so I guess we will wait and see for device by device. But it would be cool seeing a raspberry like 8 elite gen 5 board, for hopefully cheap (it won’t be cheap in this artificially inflated market, angry face)

The 8 Elite Gen 5, I don’t know the status on Linux, but Qualcomm has a few day old blog post talking about what they have upstreamed for day 1 support into the Linux kernel https://www.qualcomm.com/developer/blog/2025/10/same-day-snapdragon-8-elite-gen-5-upstream-linux-support
