## Ubuntu Concept
Ubuntu has a concept image available [here](https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/ubuntu-24-10-concept-snapdragon-x-elite/48800) that supports the Elitebook G1q's sister laptop, the Omnibook X 14. When I tried it on my laptop, I had to force it to use the Omnibook X 14's device tree, which matches up with what was reported [here](https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/ubuntu-24-10-concept-snapdragon-x-elite/48800/573).

And I couldn't find a decent way to work this in, but: it also behaved a bit strangely, both the keyboard and a USB keyboard wouldn't be recognized in Grub ~50% of the time, not sure why. I *think* they would have worked once Ubuntu was actually started, but given Grub wouldn't auto-boot, I couldn't test this.
