Linux distribution
I have choosed KDE Neon, but any modern Ubuntu-based distro should works fine. Manjaro and Arch Linux are reported to work fine also.
Preparation of Live USB drive to boot the first time
Use ROSA Image Writer or Rufus to assure USB drive boots in EFI mode (GPT partition squeme is required). Sometimes dd command doesn’t work fine.
Firmware files
DMC firmware is available in Intel Linux Graphics Firmware. Installation avoids this message when update the kernel:
W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/i915/kbl_dmc_ver1_01.bin for module i915
Touchpad
To enable tap-to-click on Wayland
Check if the touchpad is the event5 with the command: sudo libinput list-devices
Else, replace the number in the next step:
qdbus org.kde.KWin /org/kde/KWin/InputDevice/event5 org.kde.KWin.InputDevice.tapToClick true
qdbus org.kde.KWin /org/kde/KWin/InputDevice/event5 org.kde.KWin.InputDevice.pointerAccelerationProfileAdaptive true
qdbus org.kde.KWin /org/kde/KWin/InputDevice/event5 org.kde.KWin.InputDevice.pointerAcceleration 0.5
