Installation

Press Escape during boot, then F10 to enter the UEFI setup. Disable Secure Boot and continue.

Follow Installation/Using pmbootstrap. When asked for the device's vendor/codename, select hp as the vendor and elitebook-ultra-g1q as the codename. The easiest way is probably to put it on a USB drive, then boot it and image the SSD from there - you can just put the image file in the home directory and image from there. Theoretically you can just image the live system, but I wouldn't recommend it.

Note: pmboostrap in WSL is unsupported and may not work, so you may have to build the image in a virtual machine or on a separate machine.

Audio

Audio doesn't work out of the box. If you'd like to get it working, check out asus-s5507q's section on Audio and Enabling sound on the HP Omnibook X14 and others (this laptop is extremely similar to the X14, it's likely identical audio).

Keep in mind enabling your audio is very risky, you can permanently damage your hardware.

WiFi

Despite the WiFi firmware being installed, ath11k doesn't pick it up for whatever reason.

Recommended packages

For Vulkan support, you'll need to install mesa-vulkan-freedreno. Beyond that, it should pretty much work out of the box with the defaults for whatever desktop you pick.
