I purchased https://www.amazon.com/Acer-Octa-Cor.../dp/B086KKKT15 acer ryzen 7.
I used it for 3 weeks. I was unable to suspend-resume the laptop in Ubuntu 20.04 (kernel- stock/mainline/5.7 linux).
I tried fedora 32, fedora rawhide, Manjaro 5.7 kernel and I had similar issue suspend-resume.
I also tried dual monitor setup using https://www.amazon.com/UtechSmart-Di...tronics&sr=1-5 usb 3.2 gen 2 hub.
Its still the same no way to wake after suspend.
The windows 10 worked perfectly. I had to return it, coz i dont want deal with this for several months.
I am not sure If have to hold out for TigerLake with Thunderbolt 4.0. AMD renoir based laptops are very nice in the price range.
Do you have issues with suspend-resume on your lenovo laptop?Michael Larabel

I really like hearing how this laptop is workings out for you, hopefully more follow ups to come. I'm especially please to hear about how Ubuntu is working out for you . For a long time I just couldn't stomach Ubuntu so maybe this ill give me a reason to try it in the future.
As for my chosen distro it has been Fedora (has been for years) and frankly it runs well but there is that element of being a development platform that gets in the way. That is they (fedora developers) still break things from time to time but in exchange i get bleeding edge software for the most part. This has worked to well for stability of the 5500XT. In any event what I'm getting at here is that I'd love to hear about how the next release (fall) of Ubuntu runs on this laptop. That is with all the improvements coming to Mesa, Gnome and the kernel, for these processors - what will be your evaluation of the next step in Linux on this hardware.

Performance competitive with Ryzen (though lower) with 40-50% better battery life. Pretty neat in my book.
The better power usage is probably at least partly due to having LPDDR RAM, and partly legitimately from the CPU. It's too bad most of the Ryzen laptops aren't offering that option.

How hot does this laptop get? It looks like I'm probably going to return my very recently purchased Oryx Pro 6 as it's the first System76 laptop I've had since I've been buying them from them since 2009 where it's just uncomfortably warm all of the time...
In fact, if anyone has recommendations on good laptops for Linux that are also solid (or better) for gaming, I'd love to hear them. I realize this laptop isn't really for gaming, but otherwise it sounds like it provides a really nice experience, and I'm going to need something functional to replace this laptop in the near future.

Marketing-guy: Who is going to want a powerfull amd with adequate gfx card and a decent display?
Other-Marketing guy: no one - we should rather put the good displays and the good gfx cards to the inferior power hungry intels.
Boss: Im pleased to have such a competent team. Consider your annual bonus as granted. Arent we good!?
