This article covers specific configuration of this laptop. Currently based on experience with Gnome, running on Wayland.

Installation

Disable Secure Boot in the UEFI (Esc to bring up menu, then F10 for configuration, F9 for Boot options). Proceed with the installation guide.

Issues and Further Configuration

Audio

The laptop has a Realtek ALC295 Codec with a 4 speaker system built in. Currently only the 2 speakers on the underside of the machine will work out of the box. The additional speakers can be enabled using hdajackretask from the alsa-tools package. To accomplish this, with the Realtek ALC295 codec selected, override pin 0x14 to Internal Speaker (LFE) and pin 0x1e to Internal Speaker. The option to show unconnected pins may need to be selected.

HiDPI

Follow HiDPI for recommendations here. Gnome works out of the box, but other software may need more configuration.

Auto Rotation

See Tablet PC#Automatic rotation for common methods of achieving this. Installing iio-sensor-proxy worked with no further configuration needed on Gnome.
