Hi,
I wonder why there are absolutely no recent graphic driver updates for the envy x360 15-bq101ng. Since this model uses the amd 2500u mobile apu, the drivers are provided by the oems (hp in this case) only.
The last update was in 2017 and there are much newer driver versions for this apu out there as I can see on other models and other notebooks of other brands that use the same apu. I've bought this notebook about 2 month ago and I am very dissapointed that there are no updates.
A lot of vulkan extensions, fixes etc. were added in the last few month in the driver, which aren't usable in the old driver versions hp is providing.
I know that it's possible to just download and install the driver from one of the other models, however it's not my job to find workarounds to install updates for a model which is still sold and is rather new.
Is this model already EOL or something? The quite similiar envy x360 models still receive the updates while this model isn't. Also that models already received 2 new bios versions (F19 & F20) while this model is still stuck at F17 with the same errors that got fixed in F19&F20. AMD fixes a lot of stuff with the AGESA updates which are provided with bios updates.
I don't want to get rid of this notebook since I acutally really like its design and internals, however, with that bad update policy and the non-existent linux support (touchscreen not working under linux without patching the kernel to workaround bios bugs, and lots of acpi errors) the notebook is basically unusable.
