Other than framework (out of stock) does anyone know of a good linux gaming laptop with a dedicated AMD GPU that I can buy in the UK?

any help would be appreciated!

thanks for the recommendations guys, but I cant seem to find any AMD GPU laptops anywhere other than framework - they are rarer than rocking horse shit.

    Im currently using cachyos on a different setup aswell, big fan.

    Any advice/tips on getting linux setup on this laptop? Ive only ever used NVIDIA before so Im not sure what to expect.

    Basically all things works out of box ,I just installed rog control center to have control of fan,tdp limit,charging limit and supergfx cachy is having all this in the repo,be aware this laptop as any gaming laptop is hot,so for daily basic things even playing in cyberpunk I put power in powersave and setup custom fan curve in rog control center to make it less heating ,performance was enough for me in cyberpunk even with limited power save mode.While searching for laptop be aware there are two modifications of this laptop with amd CPU which have integrated video and without ,it very useful to have integrated to GPU because it works then about 4-5 hours.I have model with amd ryzen 7 7735hs which have integrated graphics.For more questions feel free text to private messages :)

    I've noticed the same thing, if a laptop has a dGPU, it's almost certainly Nvidia. My pet theory is that the integrated GPU of AMD APU chips are decent enough that laptop manufacturers who work with AMD don't bother tacking on a dGPU.
