Does Linux even work properly on Dell XPS laptops?
  • That's only for the webcam. Arch has working drivers for it as well. And in the end this is only temporary, until Intel gets drivers for these webcams in the kernel source. Work is being done on them, so it's a matter of time.

  • At least on the 13 plus they support the LTS versions of Ubuntu. 20.04 and 22.04 at the moment. Basically any distro will work, just the alder webcam needs specific drivers that are not generally available.

  • Yes, the fingerprint reader on the 13 plus (9320) works fine.

  • I have a 13 plus (9320). Everything works in any distro, except for the webcam. Dell provides drivers for it for ubuntu 20.04 and 22.04, and only for the default kernels it comes with. You can also get it working on arch.

    Work is being done on these alder lake webcams, but there still is no support for them in the kernel at the moment.

    I run mine in ubuntu with a newer kernel. And use my phone with droidcam as a webcam as a work-a-round. The newer kernels run better for battery life etc. I still have the default kernel installed, so I can reboot and use that, when I really need the built in cam.

  • Yes it works in some situations. I use it on teams every day. I run the browser version of teams in gnome wayland.

    What to do with an old phone
  • I do the same thing. The camera on my old phone is much better than the one built into my laptop. And even though the phone's battery is pretty much dead, that doesn't matter since I have it hooked up and powered via usb all the time.

    So let’s talk about this Wayland thing
  • Oh, that sounds like an interesting idea. Currently stuck with teams at work. Screen sharing does work under wayland. But definitely going to try this.

    Is it just me or is Starfield kinda meh?
  • I was really excited to play. But unfortunately somehow this games makes me nauseous. Like some form of motion sickness. I play on xbox series x by the way.

    Especially when you're low on health the blur makes it worse. As well as looking through the scope of a gun.

    Tried turning the motion blur and film grain of, but that doesn't really help. Tried a few gameplay session. But everytime I play I get nauseous after a few minutes. Never had this in any other game. And I've been playing games all my life.

    So for now I stopped playing. Hopefully they'll be making some changes in the future, that will alleviate this. But for now it's a no go for me unfortunately.

    Trains going to and from Zandvoort are called the Max Express this weekend
  • Fun fact: all the trains between Amsterdam and Zandvoort will have two drivers. One on each end of the (extra long) trains. So they drivers won't have to switch seats when going back and forth.
