well, shit, that's better than my Thinkpad X1 on Ubuntu where they never worked

I actually came very close to getting that exact same setup (from the Amazon Refreshed store) but waved it off because I could not get Chrome (not -ium, I mean the real one) nor Zoom which for doing worky stuff is "well, good luck". Yes, I'm aware one can join zoom meetings from the browser but with eyes toward that "chromIUM" part I felt it would be really, really rolling the dice, and that's before I knew that the webcam doesn't work

there have been a few other threads on this, but it's great to have a more recent version: https://hn.algolia.com/?q=thinkpad+x13s
