Like he said, he was unlucky. I got a Lenovo Carbon X1 and it worked with Ubuntu without problems (well, the finger print reader didn't work which become a security problem with work as we realised the weakest point was our laptops which had all the IP on them). Other than that it was a joy!
- sascha_sl 5y agoIt's just that there are endless pitfalls, especially running Linux on more recent hardware. For instance, if you would be running Kernel 5.14+ but not 5.18-rc2+, you'd be crashing every time you try to wake from suspend right now.[1] [1]: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/dfbba2518aac4204203b0697a894d3b2f80134d3 https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/dfbba2518aac4204203...
- foepys 4y agoUsing fingerprints is insecure. Your fingerprints tend to be all over the laptop you are trying to protect and can especially be found on the fingerprint reader - unless it's one where you need to slowly move your finger across the sensor. Standardfingerprint readers are not very good at detecting fakes. A German IT magazine (c't by Heise) discovered that you can fool almost all fingerprint sensors by making the fingerprint with wood glue on a plastic strip and hold that over your own finger. It's a 15 minute job if you know what to do.
