ewer to feel right, the stock 5.15 in older 22.04 spins fans and lags on scaling. The Goodix fingerprint reader works through fprintd after a fwupd firmware push. Sleep State is S3-capable if you switch the BIOS Sleep State from Windows to Linux; left on the default s2idle, standby drain is real.
- Fedora Out of the box
- Wi-Fi : works
- Bluetooth : works
- Fingerprint : works
- Webcam : works
- Audio : works
- Suspend : needs tweak
Fedora picks up the Intel AX211 Wi-Fi, the Goodix fingerprint and the IPU webcam without extra drivers. Same Sleep State note as Ubuntu, flip to Linux in BIOS for S3 if you want low standby drain.
