I don't know if this is the right place (in case it's not, please redirect me to more appropriate site), but trying - the integrated camera on ACER SP514-51N is not working in GNU/Linux. On the same machine, when MS Windows is booted, works just fine. According to ACER forum (link below), it is a CHICONY model "CJFKF28" **How to make the camera working?** Here is some debug info from GNU/Linux (latest stable POP_OS, currently on kernel 6.9.3-76060903-generic #202405300957~1726766035~22.04~4092a0e):
