Can you let us know which exact issues you are referring to? I am running Linux on AMD (and on Intel) on different Desktops and Notebooks, and the only issues

The fan is not even exposed via hwmon. Thunderbolt/usb 4 is also a bit iffy. There's no display before the OS boots, which means I need to open the laptop for the disk encryption password. The laptop also gets stuck in weird low frequency states after suspend/resume randomly and unpredictably. The only saving grace for this elitebook is that the wifi is not soldered, so I can upgrade it down the line. Otherwise, Intel Thinkpads are better for almost everything else, including the keyboard. Tangentially related, the mesa-freeworld mess also only exists for AMD laptops. I don't fully understand the legal gymnastics behind why Intel is not affected, but the end user experience is terrible.
