My laptop is arriving on Monday and I haven’t picked a distro yet. I currently use Debian but that is on older hardware. I’m experienced with a lot of distros so I’m a bit flexible here. I was thinking openSUSE for the sake of the latest and greatest AMD drivers, but I do see that Fedora is officially supported while openSUSE is not. Are there any hardware compatibility issues I could expect?

    I just got a new ram stick so that the laptop can avoid using swap, see if that fixes anything.

    BTW, I got the ryzen 5 edition, which comes with a smaller battery.

      I bought 32GB so I might be mounting something as tmpfs rather than using swap :)

      That said it shouldn’t really impact battery life
