Webcam
The Acer Swift 3 uses the Intel Evo platform and a MIPI IPU6 camera, which has had little success in operating on Linux systems. Intel has available drivers, but these drivers require special userspace libraries and are not compatible with V4L2.
Accessibility
The firmware interface on the Acer Swift 3 is simple and keyboard-oriented, so it should be trivial to use with OCR devices.
Firmware
Secure Boot
Secure Boot is enabled by default in the BIOS.
Due to Acer's obsolete BIOS, the following messages are to be expected at boot:
[ 1.173096] integrity: Problem loading X.509 certificate -65 [ 1.174519] integrity: Problem loading X.509 certificate -65
