On the 2022 version the speakers work out of the box. For the touchpad I prefer touch gestures instead of the mechanical clicking, but haven't noticed any issues so far. Gestures work really well on Linux (Fedora 36, KDE, not sure if it matters). Only pinch-to-zoom is bit janky at times, but 2D scrolling, one/two/three finger tapping, tap'n'drag and even switching fingers around for long drags all just works and is nice and smooth. Not missing a trackpoint. As far as external displays go, if I understand it correctly these can drive a total of three external displays, both of the USB-C/TB4 ports should have DP alt mode and MST besides the HDMI output. I'm honestly a bit surprised about the LG Gram series - you'd think there would be more talk about it. I didn't even know LG was making laptops, let alone such good ones; I only learned about them a few weeks ago by a random drive-by comment here on HN were someone mentioned them and that Linux just works, few weeks later I ended up having to buy a laptop on very short notice and remembered that comment.
