6.12 or newer for the Arc 140V iGPU and battery, so Fedora 41+ over the Ubuntu 24.04 GA. s2idle and the OLED panel are good. The convertible touch and pen work with iio-sensor-proxy and a recent desktop. The blocker is the IPU6 MIPI webcam: needs the libcamera/intel-vsc stack and still does not light up in normal apps. Audio amp wants a UCM profile. Soldered LPDDR5x.
- Ubuntu LTS Minor setup
- Wi-Fi : works
- Bluetooth : works
- Fingerprint : needs tweak
- Webcam : broken
- Audio : needs tweak
- Suspend : works
Use Ubuntu 24.10 or the 24.04 HWE kernel. Same IPU6 webcam problem as on Fedora; the convertible sensors need a current iio-sensor-proxy.
