Wow, I wish.

I've been using a couple of ryzen laptops (an HP with a 2500u, then an HP with a 3700u) for about 5 years.

It works pretty well, except:

When the laptop wakes up there's a good chance that the UI shows up but I can't click on anything or type.

I can then reboot by holding Alt-SysReq and typing REISUB.

Or: The screen is still black, and nothing works, as above.

I can run games, though if I play something like GTA-V, it will eventually get too hot and I have to hard reset.

This is because the fan control doesn't properly work.

HP laptops are well known for their crappy linux support. I've bought a brand new Lenovo Ryzen laptop in 2020, slapped POP_OS on it and everything works fine ever since (excepting the fingerprint reader, that has no linux driver). It boots quickly, power management, bluetooth and Wifi work fine, I can hot plug screens and stuff to it no problem, and waking it up from sleep just works (OK it's getting a tad long recently, about 5 to 10s -- but it just works).
