If it is only for GPU... the drivers are already pretty good.

If it is for their Ryzen processors... please hire more. I am thinking about going back to Intel laptops after the pitiful support in the current Linux kernel.

As someone in line for a Ryzen process what issues are you seeing? I haven't heard of many issues.

I have a Ryzen 2500U.

Random freezes when I am actually using the laptop are the most common. Infuriating.

Scrolling a webpage in Firefox using touchpad gestures is a risky business, more than half of the freezes happen when scrolling.

The fact that hibernation and sleep also don't work is just the icing on the cake.
