Hi,
I might need to give away my Surface Pro 7 soon, and I’m considering what laptop to buy next. For a MS laptop, the surface behaved rather well on linux. Well, if it wasn’t for the cameras, which never worked. I’m now wondering which laptop has good hardware support, that would be kinda like a surface, a 2-in-1 laptop. As in, detachable keyboard, that can operate in tablet mode and then once you attach the keyboard you have a full laptop. But with full Linux/cameras/everything support?
Does such thing exist? Thanks!
I never heard of this one and it looks amazing (if a bit on the chunkier side). Do cameras work ok? Any hardware that doesn’t work ok Linux?
Both cameras work for me. Fingerprint sensor works.
You can click through the different probes here https://linux-hardware.org/?view=computers&type=tablet&vendor=Micro+Computer+(HK)+Tech+Limited to see exactly what works and what doesn’t on different distros at different times. At a quick glance it looks like mostly everything is working.
Great that’s awesome information! I’ll try to figure out the table but it looks really promising.
I recommend the website in general. It is very hard to parse tbh. but once you get used to it, it gives great info about parts and devices and the differences in kernel versions or even distros.
