11th gen Intel didn't had that long lasting issues AFIK. It's likely related to 11th=>12th having been a big step and maybe a hasty one too, combined with a lot of GPU driver resources currently likely going to a partial rewrite of their driver components in context of them entering the dedicated GPU market.
And both support for the CPU and GPU arch they use already exist from other similar hardware. Similar the aspect that CPU and GPU are bundled together is also already handled by their current driver.
So as long as no of the interfaces or subtleties majorly changed wrt. what the driver has to do it could be proper day 1 Linux support (for CPU+GPU in normal "simple" usage).
It's not very likely thou.
And the "AI" feature likely will take forever to be nicely usable, but I don't need it.
Oh and it's not a major thing but they didn't had an AMD EFI before and I want to use custom platform keys for secure boot, so that is another point I have to check. But not being able to do so might not majorly affect my buying decisions as long as they commit to adding support in later EFI versions.
