I've been burned in recent years by trying to use AMD stuff with Linux and just running into even more weird, minor hardware incompatibilities than usual. For now I would not buy an AMD laptop again.
- qbasic_forever 5y agoMake sure to use the latest kernels. My Ryzen 2500U laptop has finally been fully stable and usable after about the 5.10 kernel. There were unfortunately a ton of bugs and issues with Ryzen, especially the APUs, in the earlier kernels. Ubuntu 21.10 or similar derivatives have been solid though.
- tazjin 5y agoI do, I use linuxPackages_latest from nixpkgs. On my first AMD machine (2020 Threadripper) I even made and carried a kernel patch to correctly address audio output pins for a while. Some of that works upstream now, but the AMD-compatible mainboards are spread too thin to be well-supported.
