Pick a T-series thinkpad with an AMD CPU/GPU combo and the latest fedora. Done. Don't forget that MacOS ships with very Limited hardware, too.

- Arbortheus 4y agoFunnily enough, this is the exact spec of laptops (except with Nvidia GPUs) that all of my colleagues who have had these problems use.
- fsh 4y agoNot surprising, since Nvidia is famous for terrible Linux support. I couldn't get scaling to work on my desktop with an Nvidia GPU, but my T-series Thinkpad (AMD CPU and GPU) works perfectly fine. In fact, sleep works better than on Windows since it doesn't do the stupid battery-draining "Modern Standby". If I send it to sleep on Linux, it actually stays asleep until I open the lid.
- tokai 4y agoSo exact spec except for the only spec that actually matters.
- hbogert 4y agoSleep was broken for a year on those with the amd platform. Based on 4 laptops t14s gen 2 iirc. Latest kernels seem to fix it. But tbh I felt like a fool handing those things to our freelancers.
