After fighting and mostly winning with Nvidia based laptops I finally got an all AMD machine.

Ryzen 7 and RX6600 graphics.

Everything just works. Vulkan games that would crash with Nvidia are rock solid.

I needed to compile a kernel module to get control of the keyboard backlight colors but I could turn it on and off via the FN F4 keys before.

Battery life is 7hrs of development or 11hrs of very light use.

Apart from the locked bios and the dumb positioning of some keys this laptop is perfect.
