If you're thinking of buying this laptop in 2023, and intend to run Linux, don't. Here's what doesn't work: The camera. The microphone. Suspend & Wake Up. The camera is recognized during the Linux boot process, but there are no drivers to permit any Linux framework (such as UVC) to work with this hardware. (the HP Laptop 15-fc0044ca) HP does not provide drivers, kernel modules, or anything remotely similar for any flavor of Linux for this laptop.
Mixed Feelings: Product Delivers, But Offer Falls Short!!

Verified Purchase:Yes
I was initially excited to purchase this product due to the quality and the enticing promotional offer. The product itself is excellent—well-designed, reliable, and meets my expectations. However, the experience around the offer was disappointing and felt misleading.
I now feel the promotional offer was more of a gimmick than a genuine incentive. While I appreciate the product, the handling of the offer has left a bad impression.
Recommendation: Great product, but be cautious of promotional offers attached—it's not always as it seems.
This laptop is exactly what I needed to work on email, social media and my blog. The only thing I dislike is the minimal power battery, it does not last long.
