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.

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?
I purchased this Monday because I needed a new laptop (on a budget) with Linux and I prefer AMD.
