this is also true! However if one is able to tolerate the bleeding edge you will get the best life out of your hardware.
as for Linux on Mobile Ryzen I’ve been running Redhat Rawhide for the last few days to get a jump on Fedora 32. I probably jumped in a few days too early however I’m seeing the best performance out of my HP Envy that I’ve seen in awhile. That is with the latest kernel. Being RAwhide it of course has all sorts of issues so we shall see how robust everything is.
running beta quality software is t for everybody but you can actually see the performance increases and the stability issues smooth out. That isn’t just for the GPU either.

But I have to say that it's not usually a good idea to be an early adopter on Linux. regardless of whether we're talking GPU's or whatever else. it's the best idea to choose hardware that is already stable and is already in good shape at the time of your purchase. AMD doesn't have a fantastic record of getting newly released hardware perfectly stable on any OS. Although the windows drivers have tons of cool graphical configuration tools and more enthusiast level features, they aren't always stable either. But it's especially so on Linux because it's a second class OS that AMD has less resources devoted to. The point is just buy hardware that is already known to have stable drivers and your user experience on Linux will be much better.

They have a pretty terrible track record with linux support of their APUs, so we'll have to wait and see how this one goes. But I don't think the gpu tech is particularly going to be a problem. Performance from what has been shared seems like it should be fine.

UBUNTU 20.04 LTS with Linux 5.5; therefore version 5.5 should be considered the actual LTS release!

Now I have started experimenting with the Rocm components like hcc, hip and open-c. They will not work out of the box, but so far I have been able to build workable HCC and HIP environments and use those for building and running some machine learning test apps on raven ridge gpu .
OpenCL environment is now on my todo list but that one I have not yet managed to get even building ok as I need to find out right git repositories and branches from the dependencies like llvm and ROCm-Device-Libs are needed by ROCm-OpenCL-Runtime. (And whether I can use same version of ROCM-DeviceLibs for example for hcc and openCL) At least so far it looks like that all 3 (hcc, hip and opencl) requires a different version of llvm.
