Thanks for showing up, nrp!

My question is about how compatible the laptop is with Linux distros?

Any parts in there without Linux drivers? Do you have a recommended distro? What about when you plug things in and out?

We've been testing with Ubuntu 21.04 and Fedora 34. We'll be releasing guides around both of these soon and other distros in the future. On Fedora 34 respins that are going live soon, everything works out of the box, including the fingerprint reader. On Ubuntu 21.04, everything works out of the box except the fingerprint reader, which requires manually upgrading libfprint.

Excellent, thanks. I bought a laptop recently so not yet ready for an upgrade but this is starting to look like my next one.

Wishing you guys great success!

Thanks for the info! I'll be placing an order soon. This seems amazing!
