    Redmi Book Pro 14/15 2022 锐龙版/Ryzen Linux 键盘驱动/keyboard driver

  • There is excellent support for all hardware on Linux (and even a ICC profile) in [2]. I run System76's pop!_OS on it. Everything works dandy. The machine is a beast.

    It has a 3.2k (!) res screen. Only 400nits but I find that's plenty for the lighting conditions I use it under. The case is milled from dark alluminum and is frequently mistaken for a MacBook. The build quality is top.

    It's a Ryzen 6800H APU with built in Radeon and an NVIDIA GTX2050. It has 16GB RAM and a 512GB SSD.

    It's the first non-Mac I bought in a decade after getting disappointed with macOS in recent years.

    The only thing that isn't on par is the touchpad on Linux. On Windows it's very close so this is definitely a config issue. I may just have to spend some time with settings.
