OK, great. I like what I've heard about the Ryzen AI chips so far. But can I install Linux on this thing?

- daveguy 9mo agoOf course you can. It's an amd64 processor with a different name and a coprocessor. Linux doesn't have any problem installing on UEFI, so unless they did something weird, it shouldn't be a problem. Apparently linux runs pretty well on the AMD AI cpus (benchmarks of lunar lake primarily vs Ryzen AI 300 in OP): https://www.phoronix.com/review/core-ultra-7-lunar-lake-linux https://www.phoronix.com/review/core-ultra-7-lunar-lake-linu... But concept-wise I think it's a dud. A laptop without a monitor. So you either carry the laptop as two pieces (some good portable monitors around) or you are limited to only plugging it in where there's a monitor available. Also, it seems they couldn't be bothered to spring for mechanical switches when the entire product is focused around a keyboard. Sheesh.
