Following prominent Linux x86 platform enabler Hans de Goede leaving Red Hat (as recently noted, he recently joined Qualcomm), there is another prominent Linux kernel engineer that will be departing from Red Hat.

David Hildenbrand landed a patch into yesterday's Linux 6.18-rc6 kernel that acknowledges his departure soon from Red Hat

(but also maybe yay for Linux on ARM?)

No.
Qualcomm does NOT want linux.
They also want to control everything.

i don’t understand. don’t they operate in one of the largest Linux platforms around, Android? if you mean they don’t support your desktop wifi chipset or publish modules for their SoCs, then i guess that’s fair to say. but i think a deeper integration with Linux can only be a good thing. i guess my perspective on Qualcomm is colored by the fact that i worked with them briefly on an embedded project, have seen their docs, and have booted their dev kits into a full Ubuntu environment.

indeed, that coloring is true.
