Audio
Currently, the speakers don't work. Connecting a pair of bluetooth headphones instead works well and there doesn't seem to be any issues. Using the 3.5mm headphone jack hasn't been tested, but if bluetooth headphones work then it's quite possible the headphone jack works too.
Touchscreen
The touchscreen doesn't work at the moment, this is being tracked in issue #2669.
GTK4 graphical glitches
GTK4 apps seem to have a rendering bug on google-kukui devices, which cause flickering and blinking icons. A workaround is to put "GDK_GL_DISABLE=base-instance" in the "/etc/environment" file. This issue is being tracked in issue #3297.
