My current status of running opensuse Tumbleweed on the UK version of the Huawei Matebook D.
Summary
Out the box leap15.1 and tumbleweed ~July 2019 works pretty well. The biggest
annoyance being the inconsistent suspend when I shut the lid or when I run
systemctl suspend sometimes it will resume, sometimes it just crashes.
Here is a list of things that do and dont work out of the box. I don't run Gnome or KDE Plasma so there maybe software in those desktops that might help and that I am missing.
Specific findings and stuff to change
