Linux Hardware report
Probe result of HP ENVY x360 15-cp0xxx
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.
