Fwiw, i have a Thinkpad x395 with AMD Apu. It's mostly nice, but there are GPU driver issues that have been unsolved for almost 3 years now with that generation of ThinkPads (0). Let's hope such issues are sorted out for newer models

With such issues, don't expect Ubuntu to fix it while staying at the same kernel version. Instead, either try their HWE-stacks or upgrade to the intermediate non-LTS releases.

Fedora, for example, will always use the latest upstream kernel while keeping the rest of the packages reasonably stable. Usually, this plays nicer with new hardware.

Yeah Fedora is my go-to for anything business related because of this. In my experience it's the best mix of platform stability while still getting the good stuff that gets added to the kernel on a regular basis.

What gave the impression that I stay with lots releases? New kernels,.distro releases, different amdgpu ppas.... I've tried a lot of stuff, but these errors don't go away
