E15 g2 and linux

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/thinkpad

Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • goodix-fp-dump

    All our work to make Goodix fingerprint sensors work on Linux. Thanks to @markusressel and @PJungkamp for sponsoring.

  • Fingerprint reader doesn't work. Mine is a Goodix and there isn't a driver for my model. Some people are reversing the driver with good progress: https://github.com/mpi3d/goodix-fp-dump

  • linux

    Linux kernel source tree

  • There is no connect/disconnect event when the charging cable is disconnected. This leads to the system to think that is always on AC thus not activating power saving features. This seems fixed last month with a new set of patches so don't expect it until 5.16 or until a distro backport the changes. I applied these patches alongside this one (i needed the last one because i am on 5.11) and the problem seems fixed. Of course you will need to compile a custom kernel, a task that isn't approachable for new users.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • acpi_call

    A linux kernel module that enables calls to ACPI methods through /proc/acpi/call. [maintainer=@teleshoes /@Mic92] (by nix-community)

  • Battery recalibration doesn't work. You will need to install acpi-call-dkms to solve the problem. Sadly the package is outdated in Ubuntu (probably debian too) so you will need to compile a newer version from here.

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
