Operating System: Linux

Hi everyone. 

I am currently running Fedora Workstation with Gnome on the HP Omnibook Ultra Flip 14 and everything works out of the box including trackpad, WiFI, fingerprint reader, tablet mode, etc. My attempts with Zorin OS 18 and Debian 13 didn't go so well. For example, in Zorin OS I couldn't get the trackpad working. Debian also had some issues, I don't remember exactly right now except that I got frustrated and deleted it again. Fedora KDE Plasma also seemed to work well out of the box but I like the functionality of the touchscreen with Gnome way better.

However, I am fairly unsatisfied with the performance of the stylus. It doesn't have palm rejection (I believe that's how it's called), so when I put down my hand to write something, my hand gets detected too and not just the pen. Also the pen doesn't track well when I tilted. 

I wonder whether there's something I can do to improve this or whether Linux in general isn't ready yet for more delicate stylus support. 

Maybe others have similar experiences or even ideas how to improve the stylus functionality?!
