I purchased this Monday because I needed a new laptop (on a budget) with Linux and I prefer AMD.
I see the colors are less vibrant than my HDR UHD monitor, but the display is bright and sufficient for my first impressions.

I've installed Linux Mint 22.1 on it.
- [F10] to enter BIOS: disabled Secure Boot, changed boot order for USB thumb drive with installer.
- Touchpad, WiFi, Bluetooth work out of the box and the install went fine, but Grub2 didn't show. Rebooted with installer, used Boot Repair to fix.
- Boots fine now, but needs the latest drivers in the kernel: 'sudo apt install linux-oem-24.04c`
- Suspend and USB-C port closest to screen works best now with USB-C dock for UHD display and wired mouse+keyboard,
my other dock that I use for my Mac passes Ethernet and video fine, but not USB mouse+keyboard.

What doesn't work:
- Internal speakers (headphone port, Bluetooth, and USB-C video+audio to my monitor are temporary workarounds)

I may try the latest Ubuntu 25.04 Desktop next since there's been activity there to patch.
Does it detect when you switch to tablet mode and orientation? I'm looking for a 2-in-1 but I want to use Linux. Most information I've found is for old laptops from 5-10 years ago

Would this be a good laptop for light photo and video editing? Looking for one for my sister but she will mainly be using it for school tasks.

I have a 12th gen i5 HP Envy 2 in 1 running Fedora KDE. I tried all the Ubuntu/Gnome variants including Mint and Zorin, but Fedora KDE had everything working out of the box including the onscreen keyboard (Maliit) activating when touching into a text field. I had zero luck with Mint on this 2 in 1 but I do prefer Mint on anything I can get it on.

Zorin worked pretty well and I dual-booted that for awhile until I decided to completely wipe Windows off of it. But I ran into a couple issues likely because Zorin hacks Gnome into a windows-like experience with a lot of extensions and sometimes they get wonky.

Can you try a Fedora KDE live USB?

Picked up an open box Vivobook S14 today, got a chance to checkout all the laptops they had on display and unfortunately they didn't have this HP Omnibook for display. My previous laptop was a 2020 Zephyrus G14 and the these new midrange laptops blow the G14 outta the water in terms of build quality and premium features.

Anyone know if the memory or HD are upgradeable? Can't seem to find that out.

This laptop comes with Windows AI. Could anyone please confirm if we may experience compatibility issues with certain programs?

Hi, sorry for the delay, I didn't get a notification! Upgraded to Mint 22.2 and it had the latest kernel (6.14) and everything I had mentioned but sound works. Now I am trying out the virtual keyboard with the touchscreen and all is fine! I had to uncomment some lines in `/etc/systemd/logind.conf` for suspend to work.

Because I use glasses, I am glad for the 16" screen versus the 14" size now.
