For the first time in many years, I wanted to buy an AMD-powered machine since Intel is plagued with so many vulnerabilities these days. I was initially aiming for a full AMD configuration, with a dedicated AMD Radeon GPU, that’s also great for gaming and future-proof, but hey, you can’t have everything in life. wrote this review/report for others interested in buying the Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 laptop and install a GNU/Linux distribution on it, so they won’t have to spend days finding the perfect distro for their new laptop.
