There is a fellow from here working on getting it right in Linux. Apparently they’ve looked into it and it seemed like the obstacles aren’t insurmountable, but the developers want to be paid.

As they should be, one thing I want to knock System76 for here is for not doing more around making the Linux Desktop experience more seamless. Still requires a ton of fiddling.

It would be worth paying for, and honestly, I think it should be Bourne by the manufacturers of linux machines, not end users.

They are doing this?

if you want them to do more, buy their computer or support Pop_OS! with patreon-like donations. They ask for $1/month.
