Linux compatibility, per distro
- Fedora Minor setup

- Bluetooth : works
- Fingerprint : unknown
- Webcam : works
- Audio : works
- Suspend : needs tweak
The i9-14900HX / RTX 4080 config needs the NVIDIA proprietary driver (akmod-nvidia on Fedora via RPM Fusion); nouveau will not drive the panel sanely. Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, webcam and audio work on a recent kernel.

s2idle suspend needs tuning: with the dGPU active the machine can wake or drain in standby until you force the integrated GPU for desktop work. No fingerprint reader. The per-key RGB keyboard works but OpenRazer is needed for lighting control.
