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.

You can just download the firefox tarball from their own site. And that will just update itself.

If you wanna run cool, you gotta run on heavy, heavy fuel.

ext4 is perfectly fine for my needs. It’s stable and just works.

Right now in firefox on a laptop. But I mainly use the Connect app. And will definately check out Sync when it releases.

Well, now he did.

Lemmy sync would be a better name though.

Same here. Mainly using connect. Also have jerboa and liftoff installed.

I’ll likely switch to sync when there is a functional release, that was my goto reddit app.

Yes basically this. Whatever they do, I’m not going back either.

Liftoff has no way to change font size yet. I find the text too small for easy reading. Trying all the apps at moment. Jerboa is fine, but currently cannot login until lemmy.world is updated. Connect seems to work ok. Basically they are all still a work in progress, but usable.
