Hello All,
First post here...I have wanted to start using Linux for a long time, but I am unfortunately constrained to Windows by software requirements. I recently set up a dual boot with Parrot Security and Windows 11 on my XPS 13 9310 2-in-1, and I am very impressed thus far. However I have had some issues with drivers that I have not been able to resolve despite quite a bit of time spent searching online:
the touchpad: aside from 2 finger tap and scroll, there is no multi-touch gesture support at all.
Keyboard: for some reason the backlight thinks it should be on all the time. The button assigned to it in the function row works just fine to turn it off, but it turns itself back on in very short order.
Fingerprint reader/IR camera: I have read that people have had mixed luck with the Goodix fingerprint readers on the XPS line. I have tried everything I could find with no luck. I presume support for the IR camera is nonexistent.
Any help/suggestions much appreciated.
