If these ARM-laptops supports the ServerReady platform, I guess it should be possible to just UEFI boot a plain Debian or Ubuntu Arm64 ISO on these machines, without need to tailor a specific image?

If not, I'm going to be dissapointed.

Edit: According to a reddit-comment[0], ARM ServerReady, UEFI and ACPI are all requirements for Windows on ARM, so if this thing runs Windows, we should be able to assume all those other things are in place too. Unless someone has locked the SecureBoot-settings, these laptops should be able to run Linux too without too much trouble.

Excellent! I might just have to get me one of those.
