GalaxyBook pro 360 Linux Issues!!!! 

I need to use this computer with linux because I am a developer.

But I faced 3 rather annoying problems with Linux drivers:

- Internal speakers do not work
- Keyboard key lights not working
- Fingerprint does not work for faster login

When will Samsung provide drivers for professional customers as the DELL does?

Thank you    (*** be careful before buying if you are going to use with linux)

I have the same issues even with latest version of Ubuntu. For me it has become an expensive useless machine.  I will never recommend it to linux users.

You'd think a couple years in it would be fixed??? I loaded mine up with fresh Windows and sold it. Got a great deal on an Alder Lake XPS+ and liking alot. It works with Ubuntu but I prefer Debian. Had to upgrade kernel via backports but now it's working great. Done with Samsung!

For Galaxy Book2 Pro users, you can check out this GitHub repository: Linux on the Samsung Galaxy Book2 Pro.
It solved most of the problems on my device.
The only thing that is still not working and is very annoying to not have is the speakers. Can Samsung make some official drivers at least for the main things like sound, touchpad and bluetooth.

Wouldn't lie icc-brightness got me jumping on my seat. I have been trying to fix this for days and I was almost letting go of Ubuntu. Thanks a lot, now I have to figure out a solution for the backlight too.
