I'm always suspicious of laptops with no Intel video. How well supported by mainline video drivers is this one?

AMD open sourced their Linux drivers a while back so I would expect support to be on par with the Intel stack, as they sharing a lot MESA/KMS etc.

I have a Radeon VII and it works perfectly, even AAA games with Steam on the fully OSS stack.

That's great news. I guess Nvidia are the only ones to avoid now.

We'll have to see how it pans out, but Nvidia did open source a Linux graphics driver this past month: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2022/05/nvidia-takes-first-s...

Not drivers, kernel modules:

This is an AMD machine, not Intel.

And that’s why I was concerned about having proper GPU drivers.
