Everything appears to work. The wireless radio required a very simple fix as reported by @cheerfultuck over here to get it up and running.
I plan on returning this machine in the next few days since my Librem 14 order finally arrived. So I have not thoroughly tested it if anyone has any requests for specific tests they want me to check post here and i will do my best. Please include noob friendly instructions if you have a task I need to perform.
It’s a beast. Intel i9 8 core 64GB ram, etc. This model has two graphics cards both the nvidia and Intel. Unlike my P51, I can not find an option in bios settings that allows you to disable the nVidia chip. Whatever the case, everything appears to work out the box. The only thing I did prior to installing is disable secure boot since i think that is a windows specific feature.
Tested on Qubes 4.1 rc2.
The shortcut function keys (e.g. brightness up/down, volume up/down) works. Not sure what else is to say?
Slightly different specs (Intel i7 11850h, rtx a4000) but very similar experience.
Works out of the box, I just made sure to turn off secure boot.
Only have used it for a few days so I haven’t tested extensively but have had no big problems so far.
Had to change screen resolution to something less than 4k though, or else everything was super tiny. Wondering if there is a better workaround for that.
Suspend seemed to work the one time I tried it.
I also got it to connect to my TV, though Qubes didn’t ask to accept the HDMI input as it usually does for my wireless usb keyboard + mouse so not sure what was going on.
In terms of bluetooth I don’t really use it in general so not something I am that inclined to test but I do not seem to have the problem of it turning on/off (unless I’m just not noticing it doing so in the background).
On an unrelated note, anyone know the state of using Solidworks on a Windows AppVM in 2023? I know there was someone a few years ago that was having trouble because Solidworks (I assume) blacklists everything but a few select virtualization environments. Anyone know if some reliable spoofing method exists.
Also a suggestion: adding a mention to turn off secure boot in bios in the installation guide would be helpful as I wouldn’t have known had I not been lurking around the forum.
