Linux Hardware report
Installation
Fedora supports secure boot enabled by default in the laptop so the process is streamlined. Dual boot with the pre-installed Windows 10 is simple by preserving the /boot/efi partition which includes the HP System Settings to access UEFI.
Touchscreen & Stylus
As tested on Fedora 35, both touch screen and stylus input work out of box.
Orientation Sensors
This model has an AMD Fusion Sensor Hub listed as 03:00.7 Non-VGA unclassified device [0000]: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD] Raven/Raven2/Renoir Sensor Fusion Hub [1022:15e4] from lspci -nn output. The driver landed on Linux kernel 5.6.11 and received improvement on kernel 5.12 series.
Storage
This model comes with a 7200 RPM 1 TB hard disk drive upgradeable to a solid state drive (in this case a Samsung 860 1 TB version). It also includes an extra slot for a non-volatile memory express (NVME) drive.
Miscellaneous
Due to the firmware bug, majority of HP laptops are affected by an unresolved issue impacting some functionality of ACPI. For example, a noticeable delay of updated battery status when plugging or unplugging the device. A Linux kernel bug report related to ACPI on HP laptops was recently addressed with the recent updated kernel 5.4.1.
Summary
- All test is done on an Design Suite 35 based on Fedora Workstation with nearly out-of-box experience.
- The battery usage is about 6 hours depending of the usage. Optimization on demand comes standard on Fedora 35 with the following options: Power Saver, Balanced and Performance.
- Microsoft Windows 10 has webcam handling facial authentication via Windows Hello application. The equivalent howdy is available on via COPR repository and needs more refinements.
- At this time of writing, handwriting recognition like CellWriter is in sad state without maintenance and activity. The challenge is to get an active maintainer porting into GTK3 or Python3.

HP Envy x360 13-ar0002nf
The HP Envy x360 13-ar0002nf was released in 2019 and has an AMD R5 3500U CPU with an integrated Radeon Vega 8 GPU, 6GB of RAM (8GB — 2GB hardware reserved) and a 1080p display.
Installation
This laptop has Secure Boot enabled by default. To start the installer you need to disable it in the UEFI. Then you can just boot the installer in UEFI mode and just install like a normal UEFI system. You can start using Secure Boot in Linux via Unified Extensible Firmware Interface/Secure Boot.
Battery and power management
Comes with a 53Wh battery, and with Laptop Mode Tools or TLP in use, yields about 10 hours of battery life under light usage. Under heavy load, battery life dwindles to 4 hours. This laptop unfortunately only comes with s2idle ( S0 ) sleep state out of the box, which causes many problems in resuming from sleep. It is however possible to patch the ACPI tables in order to add in S3 sleep, which restores perfect functionality. See this forum post.
Audio
Orientation sensor
You currently need to install iio-sensor-proxy and reboot to make the orientation sensor work.
Touchscreen and stylus
Everything works out of the box, both for touch and stylus use. If using a stylus, the system can differentiate between the stylus, and properly does palm rejection if using something like Xournal++. The experience is exactly the same as with Windows. This has only been tested with a HP stylus.
Accessibility
The laptop comes with the standard Insyde H20 UEFI firmware setup, which might be easier to parse into OCR software. The laptop also has backlit keys with 2 levels of brightness, if necessary. No diagnostic LEDs nor beep codes appear to be present in the firmware.
Firmware
It seems like the System Firmware and UEFI dbx fields are correctly supported by fwupd.

HP Envy x360 13z-ag000
The HP Envy X360 13z-ag000 was released in 2018. It has variable processors/ram and displays, from a Ryzen Mobile 2300U to a 2700U, from 4GB RAM to 16GB RAM, and a 1080p display to a 4K display.

Installation
This laptop has Secure Boot enabled by default. To start the installer you need to disable it in the UEFI. Then you can just boot the installer in UEFI mode and just install like a normal UEFI system.
There appears to be an option to use your own Secure Boot keys.
Battery and Power Management
4 hour of battery life because of the 4K display.
Display, Video Card
The integrated Vega GPU works with the AMDGPU drivers. GDK_SCALE=2 is somewhat necessary for most applications.
Audio
The»Bang & Olufsen» top-soundbar is by default disabled. You can activate it by using the «hdajackretask» utility provided by alsa-tools. More information can be found in this thread: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=189331

Touchscreen and Stylus
Kernel 4.19.5 or greater is needed. [1] [2]
The built in ELAN digitizer does not use the wacom driver by default, but it can be configured to do so. Switching to the wacom driver allows easier configuration of the digitizer and pen through tools like xsetwacom. This can be achieved with the following xorg configuration file:
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-ELAN-stylus.conf
Section "InputClass" Identifier "Elan driver override" MatchUSBID "04f3:*" MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*" MatchIsTablet "true" Driver "wacom" EndSection
After a reboot xsetwacom should now correctly register the device.
ELAN0732:00 04F3:262A stylus id: 13 type: STYLUS ELAN0732:00 04F3:262A eraser id: 18 type: ERASER
You can use xinput to probe the different devices and find out what actions get triggered by which buttons. For instance, the «wacom bamboo ink» pen triggers the eraser device while touching the screen while maintaining the second side button pressed.
The following simple example script will bind rightclick to the eraser device.
device=$(xsetwacom --list | grep -i "eraser" | awk '') xsetwacom --set "$device" button 1 3
Orientation Sensor
No IIO sensors are enumerated as of 4.18-rc7, even with all possible IIO modules compiled. iio-sensor-proxy (from iio-sensor-proxy ) returns no sensors detected.
Wireless Networking
Using the aspm=0 kernel parameter seems to prevent the card from dropping offline as much, but also worsens battery life.
Hard Drive
Built-in NVMe drive works with advertised speed. Blockdevices are located at /dev/nvme0n1p* .
