Doesn't that come down to what one defines as stable? To me LTS stable is just stagnant, but I prefer my software to be up-to-date.

- Firefox (snap) continues to be updated.

- Stable in that it's at a xx.xx.3 release state and has been thoroughly put through its paces. :)

- We work with our partners to make sure we are able to provide the best experience possible. In this case, we use OEM C as we have patches and fixes applied to that kernel set by our partners (AMD, etc). Regressions still occur of course, but are less frequent on LTS.

Appreciate the kind words. We are working like mad, and with a tiny team, it limits what we'd like to have done. But thankfully our partners are amazing, which helps.

Linux support lead here.

We love and recommend Fedora. However, it's going to see updates that may introduce regressions. Due to the cutting edge nature compared to say, Ubuntu LTS.

So in terms of overall stability, Ubuntu LTS (using our guide) is the recommended choice at this time.

Fedora is by far, more stable than other closer to cutting edge distros.

To Fedora's credit, they are awesome about working to stamp out anything that crops up.

Tltr. Fedora is a fantastic choice if you want current kernels, etc. Ubuntu 22.04 LTS with the OEM C kernel is usually more stable as it's simply LTS (Long Term Support) and not seeing bleeding edge packages.


Full disclosure, Fedora is my personal and professional use.

Cutting edge vs bleeding edge IMHO:

Cutting edge, Fedora Workstation. Closer to beeding edge, Fedora Rawhide.

We see Fedora team members on the forums, actively participating. They are amazing.

On Fedora 39 and Ubuntu 22.04 OEM C kernel, fully updated, no issues here in my testing.

Could try running journalctl - f to see if anything crops up indicating what the problem is. Pop is not tested or verified.

If I was to hazard a guess sight unseen, I'd suspect something with system76-power isn't cooperating upon resume.

Please open a support ticket for assistance.

Allow me to explain.

AMD Ryzen 7040 Series and Intel 13th Gen, workaround required due to a needed firmware update mentioned in guides.

Intel 11th and 12th gen, out of the box.

Also note officially supported and community supported.

The Compatible community supported section located under AMD Ryzen 7040 Series Compatibility shows as not officially supported (at least it does on desktop view).

To be updated as I get time replace 23.04 with 23.10. But not officially supported will remain as we only test against Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and Fedora 39 on AMD 7040 Series.

This doesn't mean it won't work. It means if you have issues, you will be asked to test against an officially supported release for ticketed support.

Tltr, you will be following this guide to ensure your fingerprint reader firmware is correct.
