If you plan on using Linux on this thing, id advice considering the Intel variant as it may not have as good of a GPU, but AFAIK the Intel drivers don’t freeze and crash the system when watching hardware accelerated videos (esp. with VP9 on YouTube). I just want to warn that this may not be the case with the 7000 series processors but the iGPUs on 6000 series certainly have a lot of issues related to them. My 680M is unstable and I had to disable the hardware acceleration to fix my playback issues
I mean, It’s been like this for over a year so I’m starting to lose hope (as there are many different open issues related to crashes and freezes caused by accelerated content). Though with luck, maybe the rdna3 gpu in the framework is not affected

I’m sure this will get fixed in the future. The Linux driver development community is very active. I don’t think that this is a deal breaker.

Are you using one of the approved distros?
I don’t have a framework, but I do have a ryzen laptop with Fedora. But this issue isn’t specific to my computer, it’s a amdgpu mesa issue
