Can I install Qualcomm's Linux on Arduino UNO Q?
As the title suggests, I'm wondering if I can install Linux, provided by Qualcomm, on the Arduino UNO Q, rather than the Debian provided by Arduino.
Or, I'd like to build Debian myself and use it as I see fit.

you can install other Linux versions, like one from Qualcomm, on the Arduino UNO Q because it uses a Qualcomm processor. The board's Linux part is customizable, much like other ARM single-board computers.
This means you can likely:
1:-Flash a new image: Replace the default OS by flashing a custom Linux image, though you might need specific Qualcomm tools to access the board's bootloader.
2:-Build your own Debian: Start with a standard ARM64 Debian image and add the necessary drivers for the UNO Q's hardware.
Just remember, this won't change the separate microcontroller (MCU), and you might need extra setup for communication between the processors.
