I was hoping that this machine would behave well under Linux, and so far, it has.Everything works. Sound, GPU, Wifi, battery detection, suspend.It's exactly what I needed. A simple, small, light, long battery life laptop to do software development on at a Denny's without lugging around my very heavy Thinkpad and unplugging it from everything.Keyboard does not have a lot of travel or feedback, but strangely, it's actually a LOT better than most cheap laptops. Touch typists will like this machine, as long as they aren't mechanical keyboard cultists.I was wary of HP machines in recent years as I had heard they had gotten quite bad, but this has been a surprisingly good experience so far.Not only is secure boot easily disabled and doesn't require an admin password (looking at you, Acer), but it also provides legacy/CSM BIOS emulation support, in case UEFI isn't your thing.eMMC storage speed is phenominal, even if there's only 32GB of space. I'm using a heavily compressed Btrfs partition for my root filesystem, so I can manage.This machine exceeded my expectations. It's not perfect, the build quality, while better than I expected, still leaves a bit to be desired. It seems to attract crumbs and grime like a magnet, which is annoying, and the touchpad is NOT particularly sensitive, which gets annoying quickly. You need more pressure than you should to get its attention so you can move the cursor.HP, if you're reading this, you've done well. A slight thing that you did in one previous machine that you should do again: allow booting from microSD. That's a very useful feature.
