You really have to watch your step with some of these vendors that tout
their supposedly Linux-compatible laptops. A lot of them foist on you
some half-assed frankenkernel, that barely keeps the laptop's bizarre

suppress kernel and X.org errata updates, for the uninformed. But as

We have enough issues with with the regular releases to not wanting to
deal with reports from OEM installations of Fedora that are heavily
modified to such a extend that they cannot really be called Fedora anymore.
