Two all-AMD gaming laptops I know are:

Since a few days I am a happy owner of an even bigger sized one https://www.msi.com/Laptop/Alpha-17-A4DX I need at least a 17 inch screen, I would even like a 19 inch laptop, not for traveling usage but for some real work and gaming (aiming). I got it in Germany via https://www.otto.de/p/msi-alpha-17-a4dek-009-notebook-43-9-cm-17-3-zoll-amd-... Currently I use it with its preinstalled "operating system" (you know, that other toy that is OK for playing around but not to do some real work) only for gaming. With reasonable reduced graphics settings in the games so that there is no really visibly poor graphics quality (e.g. low shadow quality and medium texture quality) it runs nowadays games with constant at least 60 FPS in Full HD with low up to medium fan noise (of course depending on the game). It can run nowadays games even with up to 144 FPS in Full HD plus the questionable noise of a turboprop aircraft when starting which is perhaps the right "background music" in aircraft games ;-) Meanwhile I think a gaming laptop could be even needed for normal work when the machine should run under high load for a longer time (e.g. when compiling bigger software packages or things like that) because I think very most normal laptops suffer from thermal thottling when there is high load for a longer time because their cooling is insufficient for this use case. At least very most laptop's cooling looks insufficient when they are built sooo slim. Basically all power that goes in via its power cord must go out via cooling (that's just physics). We also have a full AMD gaming PC (something normal, no high-end) with two SSDs where Linux is on the second SSD. (That "other toy for playing around" on the first SSD is for gaming.) The Radeon RX 590 was initially not supported by the kernel. During boot screen went black when the amdgpu driver launched. As far as I noticed it had something to do with some "dual BIOS" on that specific RX 590 graphics card but I am not an expert here. This issue got fixed by AMD in the kernel. Since then it "just works". Kind Regards Johannes Meixner -- SUSE Software Solutions Germany GmbH Maxfeldstr. 5 - 90409 Nuernberg - Germany (HRB 36809, AG Nuernberg) GF: Felix Imendoerffer
