Anyone running an Arch-based distro (CachyOS) on the X1 Carbon Gen 14 Aura? Camera/fingerprint/suspend reports wanted
Coming from an X1C6 and about to pull the trigger on a Gen 14 (Ultra 7 365, 2.8K OLED) to run CachyOS. From my research the platform basics (Xe3 graphics, BE211 Wi-Fi, audio with sof-firmware) are fine on kernel 6.17+, and the internal mic silence bug was fixed by BIOS 1.12 via fwupd. But there are a few things I can't find real-world reports on, so if you're daily-driving one on Arch or anything rolling:
- **Webcam:** I know the 10MP MIPI camera is an IPU7 mess on Linux. Can anyone confirm the **5MP RGB+IR "discrete" camera shows up as plain UVC** and just works? (It did on the Gen 13 — hoping the same here.) - **Fingerprint reader:** it moved into the power button this gen — does it work with fprintd? What does `lsusb` show for it? - **Suspend:** how's s2idle overnight drain? Any wake issues? - **Battery:** realistic hours on the OLED vs the WUXGA IPS panel under Linux? - **General gotchas:** GPU engine resets, USB-C/UCSI weirdness, anything else that made you regret it (or not)?
Also curious if any US folks found a way to get the H-series SKUs, since NA only gets the 8-core chips — but mostly I want to know if the 5MP camera config makes this thing fully usable before I order. Thanks!
