Nerds of the Fediverse, help:
I'm trying to get Linux to work on an old Dell 5290 2-in-1 tablet/laptop. It runs fine, but the camera doesn't work. The camera is fine, because it worked on Windows, but Linux just refuses to see it. So far, I've tried Arch (Endeavour OS) and Fedora, but no luck. I suspect it's not a distro thing, more likely a driver or whatever thing. Anything I can do to get the firmware on this bastard to work? TIA
