do ideapads actually have good linux support? Compared to a thinkpad it's cheap, those seem to start at 2 grand these days

Not sure about Ideapads.

Thinkpads with AMD cpu-s are not that expensive: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1645679-REG/lenovo_20...

Same specs for 40% less than Pangolin.

interesting, I was recently on the lenovo website and couldn't find a single thinkpad for under 2 grand. I guess they just hid them well.

My Ideapad Flex 5 runs great (Ryzen 7 5700u), but fingerprint and autorotate do not work (yet). Otherwise, it is completely stable and everything works.
