HP Dragonfly Elite - Nobara Linux HP Privacy Screen Button

Greetings fellow nerds,

I was gifted a Dragonfly Elite Chromebook (redrix) from a previous job after an eval I ran, and I wanted more than ChromeOS. I first tried Windows, but couldn’t get the drivers to register from coolstar. I moved onto Linux and got to the point of getting Nobara Linux on it, and almost everything except audio and USB C worked out of the box. They’re now solved thanks to the Linux QOL Fixes page.

My last white whale is the Privacy Screen button HP builds into their Wolf Security Edition devices. I’d genuinely love to get that function enabled because this would be my travel device. Has anyone tried this before? Thanks for any help!

can you elaborate on that feature? i am sure this is not common knowledge.

It’s a unique feature to HP (near as I can tell) that has a built in privacy screen feature which dramatically restricts viewing angles. It has a dedicated function key to activate it.
