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
• 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
