The 2 things I miss on my HP X360 Envy is fingerprint and rotation. I have some version that simply Fedora can't detect rotation mode while I've seen others do it for older versions of x360. Now thanks for the fingerprint link I'll check that one out but I gotta say, it's just smooth experience. Didn't believe KDE was so optimized now until my current installation.
Let me know how the fingerprint trial goes, make sure your reader is a Goodix one coz the steps are for that particular hardware
Sadly I don't think it is. But I'll try finding similar solution for mine if it happens that I could find proper model. Sometimes names in the system are incorrectly shown and HP and others don't really have a good database for exact laptop model. It's kinda hard to find. But I'll try still
Let me know how it goes
Tried replacing those goodix with broadcom libs but didn't work. I doesn't crash or anything just fingerprint is not detected so I guess I'm giving up
Did you look into Framework? It's an interesting concept of building your own laptop.
How much did this custom laptop cost you?
Yeah I think too, it is quite good laptop but they still got many things to improve; If they can add gpus then it is gona be game changer. But it is kinda funny when your whole setup is open source as linux and framework both give freedom to user.
I totally agree. Open source is such a game changer. Even Microsoft has embraced it.
Yeah, A great future awaits for us. I kinda feel very lucky to be alive in this era.
The Dell costed around 2700€. Actually ordering from Dell website is a lot more expensive (300 to 400 difference) than retail shops, but unfortunately none of the retail shops had i9/64g version.
I did. Not sure if they ship to EU. But anyway I would have considered if I could configure processor and memory
Every time I try KDE in a VM it has more jank than a super Mario maker level.
Is that jank VM only?
I don't get it. What is jank?
It's buggy
yes indeed there are some minor bugs here and there but nothing major and nothing annoying. TBH, there are similar issues in macOS and Windows as well.
Nice looking setup!
And I upgraded to fedora 35 yesterday. Buttery smooth upgrade in around 15 minutes. Just had to restart the pipewire service after upgrade everything else worked fine
