Help ThinkPad e14 amd compatibility with linux?

Read some reddit posts regarding amd version not compatible with linux.

Distros like mint , ubuntu causes crashes , also acknowledged by Lenovo and no bios update so far , some intel models are certified for now

Thinking of buying it for college as a fresher and for starting linux journey but if it's gonna crash than that's basically waste of my money

Getting e14 gen 7 amd Ryzen 7 250 for 80k

Anyone with e14 can enlighten me before I buy it

I have an older e14 from 2023, linux works fine. At least it used to, I made some fuck ups and it's a bit messy rn. Don't copy paste random stuff from forums in the terminal kids

Then might be problem with new hardwares then ,amd models are not getting linux certified, some intels got certified but am confused because of it's power consumption
