Will Snapdragon mobile processors be better supported now thanks to the Steam Deck?

I just saw this frame and was impressed by the fact that it is using the Snapdragon 8 chip, which, to my understanding, is mainly a mobile chip, and it still has a full-fledged desktop OS on it. Could the work for that bring more ARM devices with that chip and better Linux support for it?

I may be wrong, but to my understanding, there is no Linux distro fully supporting a Snapdragon 8 chip at the moment.
I would love to see portable devices based on this chip in the future, like ultra-slim laptops or big tablets with Linux, not Android.
Please tell me your opinion on this.
Thank you
