Overall, probably a positive thing as the improvements made here will flow downstream. I’m actually looking forward to seeing the performance of these new Qualcomm chips in laptops.
Could this mean Linux phones?

Eh, I kinda doubt too much will come of it. There is already strong incentive for ARM support because of servers and for Qualcomm-specific hardware because of Android. That is unless they plan to use completely different architectures and drivers for their new, laptop-focused stuff (and only that).
