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.
They don't even have an airtag on those things?
Yes it works in some situations. I use it on teams every day. I run the browser version of teams in gnome wayland.
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.
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.
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.
It bit of rain is ok. Hopefully not too much, since I'll be in the grandstands tomorrow and sunday 😁
Today we had quite heavy rain in the some parts of the country. Zandvoort was pretty ok today though.

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.
