Lenovo Yoga 7 14AKP10 (Ryzen AI 5 340), any stability or hardware compatibility issues with Linux?

Hey! I'm considering buying a Lenovo Yoga 7 2-in-1 14AKP10 (Ryzen AI 5 340, Radeon 840M, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD, OLED) and want to run Linux Mint on it.

( if this distro is impossible on this device, I'd probably be fine with choosing a different one )

I found a Linux Mint hardware report saying it worked well on Mint 22.2 with kernel 6.14.0-37, but I've also seen reports of occasional system pauses/freezes on other kernels. I'd like to understand how stable it is in practice.

I'm particularly interested in whether the following work reliably on a recent Mint release:

  • Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, including after suspend/resume
  • Internal speakers and microphone, without patches
  • Graphics acceleration and brightness controls
  • Sleep/wake and battery drain

I'm happy to do some setup, but I'd prefer not to buy a laptop that requires extensive troubleshooting to work properly. ( I am not that well versed on troubleshooting, but if its light I'm sure I could power through. ) Any form of feeback would be appreciated!
