At least on the 13 plus they support the LTS versions of Ubuntu. 20.04 and 22.04 at the moment. Basically any distro will work, just the alder webcam needs specific drivers that are not generally available.

Yes, the fingerprint reader on the 13 plus (9320) works fine.
I have a 13 plus (9320). Everything works in any distro, except for the webcam. Dell provides drivers for it for ubuntu 20.04 and 22.04, and only for the default kernels it comes with. You can also get it working on arch.
Work is being done on these alder lake webcams, but there still is no support for them in the kernel at the moment.
I run mine in ubuntu with a newer kernel. And use my phone with droidcam as a webcam as a work-a-round. The newer kernels run better for battery life etc. I still have the default kernel installed, so I can reboot and use that, when I really need the built in cam.
I do the same thing. The camera on my old phone is much better than the one built into my laptop. And even though the phone’s battery is pretty much dead, that doesn’t matter since I have it hooked up and powered via usb all the time.
Oh, that sounds like an interesting idea. Currently stuck with teams at work. Screen sharing does work under wayland. But definitely going to try this.
Last weekend I was at a formula 1 race. And we got soaked in dihydrogen monoxide there…
7·1 year agoJust stick with the gestures for a week or so. You’ll get used to it. Wouldn’t want to go back to the button row anymore.
These settings are samsung specific. Samsung had optional gesture navigation before it was in android. Different gestures though (the 3 button swipe from the bottom option). So nowadays you can choose between the old style samsung gestures, the android gestures and toggle the button row on or off on samsung phones.
You can just download the firefox tarball from their own site. And that will just update itself.
Just get some dongle like this if you need more ports.

ext4 is perfectly fine for my needs. It’s stable and just works.
That’s only for the webcam. Arch has working drivers for it as well. And in the end this is only temporary, until Intel gets drivers for these webcams in the kernel source. Work is being done on them, so it’s a matter of time.
