ASUS Zenbook 14 OLED UX3405MA
Light, cheap for the spec, and a genuinely good OLED. The catch on Linux is real: the CS35L41 speakers stay dead without a hand-loaded SSDT patch you may have to redo after BIOS updates. Headphones work, speakers do not, until you fix it.
Compiled from public sources and community data, not hands-on tested. What that means.
Best on arch. Confidence: high

arch: The CS35L41 speaker amps are not wired up by the BIOS ACPI tables, so internal speakers are silent until you load a community SSDT patch. Headphone jack works regardless. UVC webcam is fine, no IPU6 here. Graphics need kernel 6.7 or newer for the Arc iGPU. GitHub: UX3405MA speaker SSDT patch →
fedora: Same CS35L41 silence as Arch. The SSDT override has to be rebuilt and reapplied after some BIOS updates, so it is not a one-and-done fix. Fingerprint depends on the sensor batch.
