Great! It's good to see they are also contributing upstream!

If you're not rich or willing enough to contribute to this, the ASUS TUF Advantage (2023) is a very similar all-AMD gaming laptop, a good fit for Linux, at roughly half the price on sale. I've been using it for a few months now. Zen3+ cores instead of Zen4 but 32GB RAM and an RX7600S, but with only 1920x1200 pixels at 165 Hz, instead of 1440p.

Just make sure to install a distro with a recent kernel version:

Pop!_OS (best "just works" distro with recent kernel)
Fedora 39+ or derivative (such as Nobara)
Archlinux or a derivative like EndeavourOS or Garuda

Linux Mint will not work out of the box so if you insist on Linux Mint, you will have to install a newer kernel yourself.

It's good but not strictly necessary to install asusctl and supergfxctl on it for stuff like limiting battery charge to 80% and turning off the dGPU when working away from wall power.

Nobara is better than pop_os
