Resources

Things not working under Linux

  • Fingerprint reader is not working under newer versions of fprintd. See related issue here:
    https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libfprint/libfprint/-/issues/321
  • Wifi is flaky
  • nouveau video driver seems to crash once in a while
  • TV tuner is recognized but doesn't work
  • Some of the multimedia keys are not recognized:
    • video
    • music
    • record
    • brightness down
    • brightness up
    • DOLBY
    • monitor out
  • The extra functionality of the touchpad
    The touchpad has some cool functionality with shortcuts and whatnot, but I only ever saw that working under Windows
