If your standard is "supports suspend/resume", there's even plenty of laptops that won't meet it.
That gave me a laugh.
- robinsonb5 8mo agoSuspend / resume? I'll settle for "keyboard works". (From what I've learned so far, some magic incantation is required to convince Linux that a Lifebook E559 is a laptop not a tablet. I'm finding I have way less patience with these side-quests as I get older.)
- voidmain0001 8mo agoThat laptop has an 8th gen Intel processor which should make it completely compatible with the Linux kernel, yet surprisingly it’s not. https://linux-hardware.org/?probe=2ec391ffdc https://linux-hardware.org/?probe=2ec391ffdc Did Fujitsu choose an obscure component or interface?
- yjftsjthsd-h 8mo agoEven on random ARM boards, it's not usually the CPU that's the problem. (It's generally drivers for everything else; eg. a sensor hub that should tell you when a laptop is in tablet mode)
- voidmain0001 8mo agoYeah, my implication was that the 8th gen CPU's platform controller hub should be supported. I should have explicitly rather than implicitly stated that.
