Linux and BIOS (Spectre x360)

[alaincou]

Hello,
I installed Linux (Debian, Fedora) in addition to Windows on my laptop, overall after some settings,it works.

HP does not support Linux on Spectre x360 14-eu000.
For example, the cameras do not work, but it should come.

New Bios F.13 RevA caused big problems because it overwrites the boot Manager at each reboot and therefore difficult to go to Linux.
I found a solution using bcdedit on Windows, but I no longer have the possibility to start Windows directly from the Bios.

Otherwise this new bios generates the same many errors as the old F.12

ACPI BIOS Error (bug): Could not resolve symbol
ACPI BIOS Error (bug): Object does not exist: ACPI
BIOS Error (bug): Failure creating named object
...

Is it possible to correct these errors in order to make the bios compatible with Linux or other?
Thank you for your help and support for those who use Linux.

Kindly do not take this the wrong way.

I have my Windows desktop and my Windows laptop. I built the desktop and the laptop is an HP Spectre x360 13 model.

My Linux laptop brand and recommendations  for it were sourced from Linux forum recommendations.

That is  because I knew that Linux can be a very unforgiving OS when it comes to hardware.

You seem to like OS multibooting.  So did I in the past.

I wish you the best of luck.
I can tell you that the chances of your request happening are very, very slim indeed.

Hello,
Linux works very well, in PC mode as well as tablet, apart from cameras, Windows heats up the laptop and I also want to test ChromeOS and Android.
I am still developing a little and recompiling the Linux kernel, the i7 155h processor is very good for this, with 16 cores and 22 threads.
In short, when I look at the Bios, I find that it is not very advanced, for example 4 OVTI entries, while only 2 are really useful including in Windows, for example OVTI01AS is not used.
I think that manufacturers like HP should make their systems compatible, not necessarily support other OS but be compatible.
The idea is already to accept free competition on OS, it is also a selling point.
In addition, I note that all manufacturers, AMD, Intel ... are making a lot of effort towards Linux (which is also the engine of ChromeOS and Android), even Microsoft. As well as the integrators Asus, Samsung, Dell... and also HP.
I think this is in line with history...

Best regards

I confirm this is an issue I am also facing and I am looking forward for some action from HP.
