  • Lenovo sold it with Linux preinstalled (Ubuntu Linux)
  • Face login (IR camera) is not part of Omarchy’s setup (fingerprint and FIDO2 keys are)
  • Fingerprint reader: Omarchy’s menu sets it up for sudo and the lock screen (if libfprint supports the sensor)

Good for (judged from specs)

  • Web & app development
  • Heavy Docker & VMs
