That's quite interesting to know. Which laptop/AMD cpu did you purchase? I may have to buy a new laptop in the near future. Linux is my default OS. I've been happy with my existing Ryzen 7 3000 series laptop for 5 years or so. I want to know if Intel is doing better these days.

Framework is very well supported on Linux, and have both Intel and AMD builds. Highly recommended.

  How is Framework power management in Linux? Does it need lot of tweaking in mainstream distributions/

    Not as good as when running windows (when has there ever been a laptop with linux power management as good as windows?), but better out of the box experience than most laptops I’ve tried.

Take a look at the 'Ubuntu Certified' Laptops. Most Dell, HP and Lenovo should be supported. Here is a full list https://ubuntu.com/certified/laptops?q=%C2%B4&limit=228&category=Laptop&release=22.04+LTS https://ubuntu.com/certified/laptops?q=%C2%B4&limit=228&cate...

If you're interested in ASUS laptops (they have some very good and powerful models), you can check out this website: https://asus-linux.org/ https://asus-linux.org/

  Bought one beefy Asus ROG model (m16-2021) and it was so poor quality! Windows had BSOD daily (reddit suggested to replace wifi card - it helped). Sometimes audio output became muffled. After few months body coating started to peel off in some places. I wish I bought something else!

I just got Thinkpad T14s Gen4 with AMD chipset and it's brilliant! The chipset works out of the box with great performance and battery (Tested on Arch and Nixos) and the 16:10 OLED semi-matte screen is a must upgrade (better than any other laptop screen on the market imo). My only gripe is the fingerprint magnet body material which is annoying to care for. I'm running nixos and plasma wayland without any issues. Even the fractional scaling works out of the box.

  Interesting.. How is the OLED burn in so far? Also does the fingerprint sensor work?

    No burn that I could notice in 2 months of use now. I don't think that's a major problem for laptops tbh. I don't use fingerprint sensors on laptops and ordered mine without on but AFAIK it does work on linux if I recall correctly.

      Not sure. that's the one thing that horrifies me about OLED laptops. The taskbar always being there = recipe for burn in..

Take a look at this amdgpu issue tracker[1], you will find that there are lot of devices across vendors having the same issue. And even if you get s2idle to work, which people on my machine do by disabling wakeups with something like the following, it looks like the system is sleeping, but it will often still spend most of the time in userspace, which leads to heat issues if you are foolish enough to throw it in your backpack at that point: for i in $(cat /proc/acpi/wakeup|grep enabled|awk '{print $1}'|xargs); do case $i in SLPB|XHCI);; *) echo $i|tee /proc/acpi/wakeup ; esac; done [1] https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues/?sort=created_date&state=opened&search=sleep&first_page_size=20 https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues/?sort=create...
