#user-support:hcl-reports

I’ve been running the Librem 15 v4 with Qubes Os for about 1 year now, and I can say that it works great with Qubes Os.

What’s working for me:

  • Built-in Wifi card
  • Built-in microphone
  • Webcam
  • All USB ports
  • Speakers
  • Backlight keyboard

Suspend was not working for me 1 year ago but it seems to work correctly after upgrating to the new kernel-latest.

The biggest issue for me on this model is the CPU FAN high load and is extremely loud all the time.

Unfortunately, Purism doesn’t really offer any Bios customization which is a shame.

I solved this problem by installing a custom firmware.
