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.

For the laptop itself (currently only available with FHD 60Hz 100% sRGB), please see our announcement thread here: https://www.reddit.com/r/XMG_gg/comments/hjxm80/launch_schenker_via_15_pro_with_ryzen_7_4800h/ Product Page, Pricing, Configurator: https://bestware.com/schenker-via-15-pro.html This survey is anonymous.

But it is good to see that Clevo now provides this Kind of configuration.

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!?

I've definitely considered that one, but it sounds like it's on the warmer side, which is my big complaint about the Oryx Pro 6.
That being said, I'm pretty sure the G14 has "Silent" and "Performance" modes you can switch between, so when you're not gaming you can keep the heat/power consumption limited.
As for the comments conspirisizing about Intel not letting laptop manufacturers make truly high-end AMD laptops, in reality, it's much more likely that the laptop makers didn't know/believe just how good Ryzen 4000 was going to be. Even I didn't expect them to stomp Intel as much as they did. Now that the laptop makers are more familiar with how good the processors are, maybe we'll see them in more of the "luggable workstation/gaming battlestation" designs in the future. Besides, the idea that the 4000 series chips aren't in high-end laptops is kinda not true, e.g. the G14 is by far the highest end laptop in the 14" gaming laptop class/category, even matching/beating systems on other, entirely different classes/categories.
