I'm really confused by this post as AMD chipset is the de facto recommendation in any laptop discussion forum on Linux. AMD graphics cards are also much better on linux too so it almost seems like you got things in reverse?
- 127361 3y agoI personally find AMD GPU support under Linux to be absolutely excellent. Only thing I don't like is the "secure processor" which requires signed and sometimes encrypted firmware to run. The older cards don't have this.
- fulafel 3y agoAt least on iGPU business Thinkpads, Intel systems still seem to be more robust with Linux. The difference isn't necessarily on graphics, just less bugs overall ranging from wireless (bt/wifi) to monitor / dock compatibility etc.

- lobocinza 3y agoI have a RX 6600 XT and it was a PITA in many instances. Sometimes black screen at boot which resolves after GDM is started. Freezes when waking up which is an issue that come and go on Arch after each update cycle. Bizarre frame drops in games out of nowhere. Like one day I had stable >60fps but next day after a reboot with no change to the system it stayed ~15fps. This was a huge pain for almost an year after launch but I think it is stable enough by now.
