We are focused on getting this done and therefore, remains actively worked on full time (I am sitting on a test release right now, testing it very hard). This is coming, no, I have no ETA at this time.
Now, I use both Ubuntu 22.04.3 using OEM C (and VETTED with uname -r as active) and Fedora 39, on AMD, same BIOS. Even there, you will see some issues, but if you are on an untested Linux distro or on Ubuntu non-LTS, results may be less than great.
For everyone reading this on AMD Ryzen 7040:
Note that 7040 Series is still a very new platform and AMD’s open source teams will continue to actively develop and improve Linux kernel driver support beyond this specific firmware fix. We’ll keep updating our guides to point you to recommended configurations, and we’ve created a Community wiki post (here) with an overview of the latest status.
A reminder:
The version 3.02 BIOS that ships on your laptop has issues with certain kernel versions. This is resolved in 3.03, which will be available as a Beta release soon. In the meantime to get started, you can follow our guides to get set up with distros that work on both 3.02 and 3.03:
-
Fedora 39 Beta - This works “out of the box”, and is the distro we would most recommend at the moment. You can run the beta and update into the release state in mid Oct.
-
Ubuntu 22.04.3 - Follow this guide, make absolutely sure you follow the instructions at step 9 for AMD Ryzen 7040 Series as the default kernel is a very bad time - after following this, verify you loaded the right kernel on reboot with
uname -r- the Zenity pop up will likely appear if step 9 is followed but the kernel is wrong.
This will be the last update until I have something new to report. The moment I do, you will be the very first to read it here.
