I just went full AMD when I realised their Open Source effort to market share ratio (alright, there is no metric for OS effort, I just do it by the feels) is way ahead of Intel.

A RISK-V based system is probably what comes over that.

I bought a Framework 16 laptop partially because they officially support Linux and there's AMD employees on their forum tracking and fixing bugs.

AMD have come a long way since the fglrx days (their old buggy proprietary graphics driver). They've really embraced Linux, and an AMD CPU + AMD GPU would be my first choice for a Linux system. Their newer onboard graphics is pretty good too.

I'm just waiting for it to be available here.

Probably going to be a while, considering most people won't pay the extra price for it, with much cheaper brands being available.
