In the mobile Linux scene, Qualcomm chips are some of the best supported ones. I don't love everything Qualcomm does, but the Snapdragon 845 makes for a great Linux phone and has open source drivers for most of the stack (little thanks to Qualcomm themselves).

Qualcomm is one of the worst monopolists in any industry though. They are widely known to have a stranglehold on all mobile device development
