Hi there,
I just installed Manjaro on a new laptop (Dell Pro Max 16 Premium not detected) and the webcam is not detected. I’m really not an expert in hardware drivers and such topics so I’ll be very thankful if people here could help me fix that. I’ve checked that the webcam is enabled in the bios and I’ve put below the output of a few diagnostic commands I found.
➜ sudo dmesg | grep -i camera
[ 3.398907] intel-ipu6 0000:00:05.0: Connected 1 cameras
