HP Spectre X360. The wifi card started failing less than 1 year in and there was no way of getting it fixed. It was touted as Linux compatible, but the stylus barely worked with the latest kernel. Sound NEVER worked from the integrated speakers (in Linux, Windows was OK). I digged through so many alsa and pulse-audio posts that it was probably 10% of that year's time wasted. It wouldn't go to sleep when closed (randomly, 8 times out of 10 it would) , so it kept overheating in my backpack.
HP + Linux, never again.
- nightowl_games 2y agoDang I almost bought that machine but got an XPS instead. Worked great with Linux.
- _davide_ 2y agoI actually pushed a fix for the soundcard upstream back in kernel 5.13, it had been working great. And yeah, don't expect a Wacom level pen, it doesn't come with tilt. I never trust/tried sleep on Linux(could corrupt the FS), but everything is working great on my side.
- deterministic 2y agoLet me fix that typo: HP never again. That’s better!
