I'm glad the AMD GPU option still exists, I don't have great experience with NVIDIA on Linux. The rest of the upgrades, like the new top cover and keyboard, are very welcome

I came to say the same thing. In the late 2010s I ran Linux on a work-issued Lenovo P50 with a Nvidia Quadro M2000M. It was such a miserable experience that I swore to never own another NVIDIA product again.

Given both Framework and NVIDIA's checkered histories around Linux driver support, I see no reason to revisit that, but it is interesting to see the voices in this thread with positive NVIDIA experience.

I said in another comment but exact same experience here (though about a decade later), same laptop and gpu. It's a shame because the P50 is so nice otherwise.

Maybe its just a problem with older Nvidia gpu's, but its not a gamble I want to take
