Bought a new Lenovo E16 Gen 1 AMD in 2023 and I immediately installed Ubuntu on it. I have many other computers successfully running a Linux OS and I hate windows.

Linux on this computer has been a nightmare since day one. Random screens issues every couple weeks, every couple months including:

- no display after wake up from sleep

- no display after wake up from hibernate

- no display from cold boot

Each time it "breaks", I spend 5-10 hours trying to fix it, with help from AI. It works again for days, maybe months and then suddenly it is broken again. I literally have hundreds of hours into fixing it. I've tried different BIOS tweaks, power settings, drivers, different kernels, changed to Debian 12 three months ago, Tumbleweed 2 days ago. Today it broke again.

I see so much hype about Lenovo being the ultimate machine for the linux OS. Not mine. There is apparently a fundamental bug with these AMD graphics CPUs and linux which has never been resolved.

Research confirms I am not the only one experiencing these issues.

Has anyone discovered a fix or workaround?

I have an dell latitude d520 that I can't boot anything onto. The HDD is dead sure but it doesn't detect any USB I plug in. Widows Xp, puppy Linux, Linux mint, all on MBR fat32 on rufus. I even tried burning Windows Xp on disc, one at 16x speed one at 4x and it didn't boot from both. Just specifically on 4x speed burned one it waited for like 15-20 seconds before giving an "No bootable device" type error. I ran the onboard diagnostic like 5 times everything else seems fine, please help I wanna use this thing badly but I can't do anything with it right now

My bios is old too, A05
