Linux on (non-Apple) ARM, what is the current status?

Qualcomm Snapdragon, Ampere and maybe others. Support of Snapdragons was said to be quite bad due to the lack of upstream "giving a damn about Linux".

Has this changed?

The Steam Frame will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon arm CPU with Full SteamOS support, so I guess if Valve goes for it it's good enough and will improve faster.

But I've never installed any Linux distro on an arm device myself.
