Runs fantastic with Debian 12 Bookworm (Testing) and GNOME 41, but standby mode is only working with XanMod kernel ( https://xanmod.org). Regular Debian kernel will just lock up after going to standby mode.

For best battery performance use auto-cpufreq from https://github.com/AdnanHodzic/auto-cpufreq

This laptop works out of the box with the latest non-free version of Debian 11 Bullseye.

It is almost perfect:
- Internal GPU (Renoir) works with 3D acceleration
- Touchpad works (Better then in Windows)
- WIFI works
- Bluetooth works
- Webcam works
- Battery detection works

However, the AMDGPU driver will crash with "dc_link_set_backlight_level" on this laptop after a suspend/wake up. This is a well known issue with current AMD laptops, see https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues/1251 for the bug report.

AMD Ryzen 4500U (Zen2) notebook. Works perfectly fine in Fedora 33 Workstation. For better trackpad support install the Extended Gestures GNOME extension.
