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?

This isn't exactly true. UEFI supports arm and if I'm not mistaken windows on arm is UEFI only. While UEFI isn't as standard as it is in the PC world it is very common on servers and windows devices.
