How do modern Linux-distros handle eSIM-integration?
I am planning to buy a Lenovo T14s (4th generation) with eSIM-cpability. Does anyone here know or can anyone tell me how modern Linux-distros like Fedora, EndeavourOS, Manjaro or Mint do handle eSIM-functionality?
Is it available without going with additional packages, can I directly scan the QR-code to active the eSIM on the system? Any experiences here?
Thanks in advance!
check out this app, its still under dev tho: https://codeberg.org/lucaweiss/lpa-gtk
E-sim works on Ubuntu Touch using the terminal.
I haven't dig into it but I'd check https://lucaweiss.eu/post/2024-06-24-esim-manager-for-mobile-linux/ i.e. yes, in theory "normal" distributions as you list "should" support it... but rarely do modems on desktop (or even laptops?) support eSIM. Consequently it's more on other devices, e.g. phones, and those tend to have dedicated distributions, e.g. PostMarketOS on a FairPhone but not on PinePhone as it doesn't have eSIM support.
Lookup the modem model and see
Could you be more specific? I‘d like to know how Linux handles the implementation of eSIM in general - independent from the hardware vendor or the age of the model. When there‘s an eSIM, I‘d like to use it. 😌
