After you installed Debian live on USB Flash drive and before trying to boot from it did you change the boot order in the System BIOS to boot from the attached USB port first? Typically the BIOS can be accessed using F2/F8/F10/F12 or CTRL key.Ok.
Got the laptop.
Trying the arm64 Debian iso installation package, does not trigger Linux to start. Black screen for few seconds, then the default preinstalled windows system starts. No errors given, nothing but a black screen...
Have also tried the Aarch64 arm general package solution with same result. Black screen, then windows.
So the Snapdragon SoC is definitely not yet supported in Linux, despite what they write in Qualcomm's arm portal . Now the question would be whether return it to Lenovo or wait. As far as I can get, there's no given time-range as to when Qualcomm's new processors will be fully supported in linux. Months? Years? The experimental installation package they have is one year old... I'll try it anyway.
