    Last time I checked (eager to buy after reviews) not "there" yet. Let see next year.

    EDIT: someone on reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/1gu31bp/daily_drivin...

    What's broken? Well still quite a lot...

    Camera

    Audio

    Displayport alt mode

    Lid switch and EC support (screen stays on when the lid is shut)

    Bluetooth (tested with a patched kernel and had huge issues with audio stuttering which I suspect are firmware/driver related but haven't investigated).

    Probably more??
