## Installation

Disable Secure Boot in the BIOS (ESC to bring up menu, then F10 for BIOS and/or F9 for Boot options) and follow the installation guide as usual.

## Issues / Notes

### HiDPI

See HiDPI.

### Display

#### Backlight

OLED panels do not have backlight, they get dimmed via PWM. With kernel 5.7+ you can use the `i915.enable_dpcd_backlight=1` option to make backlight controls work natively. This option may not be needed on future kernels.

On older kernels you will have to use `icc-brightness` (see Backlight#Color correction) and let it manage color profiles.

#### Color profile

A calibrated ICC color profile is available from NotebookCheck.net in the Display section of the article (direct link).

### Audio

This laptop requires firmware in order for the soundcard to work. See Advanced Linux Sound Architecture#ALSA firmware.

This laptop has a Realtek ALC285 codec with a 2 speaker system and digital microphone array built in.

#### Mute LEDs

Mute LEDs on the keyboard for the speakers and the microphone are not working. An experimental kernel patch is available to manually control the mic mute LED only.

### Camera

The camera is detected as a standard UVC device and the hardware switch to enable/disable it works as expected.

### Auto Rotation

Installing iio-sensor-proxy works out of the box on Gnome. See Tablet PC#Automatic rotation for more details.

### USB-C HDMI-out

Works out of the box with HP's USB-C to USB and HDMI adapter; generic adapters should also work fine. HiDPI quirks apply.

### Fingerprint Reader

Not supported yet.

### Tablet mode

The physical keyboard and the touchpad are automatically disabled when the screen is rotated to tent or tablet mode, and the on-screen keyboard gets automatically enabled if the last input came from the touchscreen.

### IR Camera Login

Works with Howdy configured to use `/dev/video2`.

### HP Tilt Pen

As of June 2020 the HP Tilt Pen is supported by the development version of libwacom. You can still apply the changes manually.

Pressure sensitivity and tilt to erase are working, but the buttons on the pen are not correctly mapped. When put into presentation mode it is recognized as a Bluetooth mouse but it does not move the cursor or emit events.
