> At work for new devs we bought ThinkPads with Ryzen. These are in general fine, except that multiple people have this weird issue with the computer completely freezing at random times on Linux. The one person who had Windows didn't have this issue. If it weren't for this issue that would be our default buy for new hires. Now, I don't know really.
Likely an issue with the C6 power state. Try searching for "ryzen linux c6 state" and you'll find plenty of people with these issues. Try updating BIOS, disabling C6 in BIOS or with https://github.com/jfredrickson/disable-c6 https://github.com/jfredrickson/disable-c6.
- jgilias 5y agoThanks for the tip! I know that some of the guys have tried some of the fixes that can be found online with limited success, I'll forward this to them! It's a real pity though! Were it not for the freeze issue the laptops would be quite solid!
