I can't speak to Fedora, but Debian stable runs great. Best laptop I've owned, hands down.
Caveats:
+ Wifi needs kernel 5.19 from backports (USB tether your phone to download.).
+ fprintd (fingerprint) from testing/bookworm.
+ Brightness keys conflict with the ambient light sensor.
+ Power optimization fiddling.
I found answers for all the above on their forums, day 1.
Pleasant surprises:
- P-series chip gets out of my way. (U-series battery life sounds nice, but dev tasks can be jarringly slow. YMMV.).
- Fan is not distracting at full load
Disappointments:
- Fractional scaling. Workaround: bump font, icon sizes in desktop settings.
- SD card reader consumes ~1W idle.
- Speakers could be louder. I believe there's a new module.
