The Dell Latitude 7320 2-in-1's integrated web camera lacked Linux support since its 2021 launch.
New kernel patches resolve the issue, eliminating the need for external cameras or proprietary drivers.
Support arrives via upstream kernel contributions, reducing long-term maintenance burden for adopters.
