Installed OpenSuse Leap 15.6, everything seems to just work, except: battery is
dead (easily fixed) and the wifi is molasses-in-January slow, as in 2 orders of
magnitude slower than other laptops in the house.
Try again after battery has come up to full charge.
IIRC I once had an over-protective BIOS which slowed selected items when
battery was charging.
YMMV

troubleshooting why the onboard adapter is so slow? It's been many years since
I had to mess around with tweaking network interfaces, so I've forgotten most

Thanks-
