From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

It's tricky enough getting hardware video encode to work on Linux with "this is just an Intel IGP, the exact same thing as every other Intel IGP". Decode can even be tricky at times. I am very pessimistic about getting video editing software working on a system as far off the beaten path as a Snapdragon.
If you stick with more mainline hardware, you have fallback positions like "use linux Davinci" or "dual boot Windows and use one of the gazillion tools there", or "MacOS has its own cavalcade of media tools".
The gpu is fully supported to my knowledge.
Thanks for the points you brought up. Very helpful.
