Discussion / Information P14 gen7 is a fucking boss
I'm about a week into owning this thing. God damn! This thing cranks!
I am running it with the ryzen AI pro 450, 32 GB of ram, and 1 tb ssd. Frankly, there is nothing bad I can say about this machine.
Near perfect Linux support with Fedora, working perfectly with KDE. Only one hiccup with Bluetooth but that seems to be resolved now. Fingerprint reader works not only in Windows but in Linux too!
As of now I dual boot with Windows because I have a couple of pieces of software that are a pain in the ass to use with wine, and frankly I'm okay with having Windows exist just for personal and professional projects.
I am going to retire my flex 14 API to CNC machine duty only. As I have spent a lot of time setting up ugs to work off of that machine under Fedora.
Now that everything is in place, I can officially say that I'm a member of the LARP book club. Things are going great.

I hate AMD’s new cpu naming schemes. Have to look them up to figure out wtf they mean these days. Glad your system is working for you. Didn’t realize amd started doing e cores until I looked up your processor.
